you can publish to a maven local repo if that is the goal.

yeah I know I can do that. but basically I want to create a maven local that is created so I could copy it to an airgapped machine so it can run a build without the networking config required to actually resolve everything

ah yea. that topic has come up several times - while you can create a custom repo to point to a filesystem location for resolution, there is no mechanism to mirror things to that location.

gotcha ok thats what I suspected. i'll do it the hard way then. thank you

You can copy that part of the cache to the airgapped machine. Just search for ephemeral builds in the docs.
