Question

I am relatively new to grails and need to know something really basic. Right now I need to be connected to internet to run my grails project, Otherwise the project tries to resolve dependencies indefinitely..
Could not find this anywhere in the documentation..
I am assuming it tries to look for updated versions of plugins?

How do I set this feature off so that the project runs without internet connection.

Grails 1.3.7 works (from my experience) without being connected to the internet except for the first run:

On the first run, it will resolve dependencies from the internet. But those will be cached locally (check $user/.grails, $user/.m2 and $user/.ivy2 folders). The next run will not need an internet connection.

But there is one catch – if one of your plugins depends on a snapshot version, it will try to connect to the internet each time you start your project in order to see if there is a newer version. See this question Grails: working offline with snapshot dependencies for a solution.
