[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-11192) Offline Support

[Burr Sutter (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-11192?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12695191#comment-12695191 ] 

Burr Sutter commented on JBIDE-11192:
-------------------------------------

I believe this is the scenario that is now supported:
1 - User is online (on the Internet) - selects one of the JBoss Central archetypes or a quickstart
2 - Allows the project to generate, import and build - thus populating his .m2/repository with needed dependencies from Maven Central and/or the Enterprise Maven Repo (Wolf)
3 - User goes offline (disconnects his network/WIFI or is on an airplane) - he can again select the previously selected JBoss Central archetype or quickstart  - it will use the cached "archetype" or quickstart
4 - it will generate the project, import it and building using the cached maven artifacts

Does that sound right?

> Many end-users of JBoss Tools wish to work "offline", something as simple as working on a plane trip without a wifi connection.   If the end-user has diligently cached all of his maven dependencies then he should be able to work without a network connection.
> Use case scenarios include:
> a- JBoss Central archetypes
> b- JBoss Perspective File-New project options (matching the key archetypes)
> c- jboss-as-plugin for command-line deployment of a project to the running AS instance
> d- Deployment via WTP to localhost AS/EAP instance
> e- Maven clean, compile, package
> f- community & enterprise quickstarts are provided as a .zip, therefore the end-user could have them pre-downloaded and that list could look to local disk prior to the Internet
> g- JBoss Central News & Blogs could have a more attractive solution to being offline (screenshot provided)
> h- Archetypes that use CDN hosted libraries (e.g. HTML5 & jQuery) could provide an alternative or at least instruction on how to fetch the files and load them locally
