The repository system is offline but
the artifact
org.aspectj:aspectjtools:jar:1.6.11.M1
is not available in the local
repository.`

My internet is working fine. other dependencies download fine but not above one

Answer 1

I don’t know where this funny version comes from, but it’s certainly not to be found in Maven Central:

org.aspectj:aspectjtools versions

you can do a mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.aspectj to see where the dependency is coming from and then set the dependency version to the current version (1.6.10).

But apart from that,

The repository system is offline

this sounds like a needed repository was not available. Maybe a server is / was down, the error doesn’t have to be on your side.
