I need to have a completely offline maven repository due to some limitations. According to http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/PluginResolutionException , only <pluginRepositories>
are searched for plugins. So I am wondering how to configure maven to look up plugins in a local file system. I tried using "file://" prefix when setting <url>
but it doesn't work.

Maven central repository is located on the web. It has been created by the apache maven community itself. The path of central repository is: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/. The central repository contains a lot of common libraries that can be viewed by this url http://search.maven.org/#browse.
Maven's local repository is a directory on the local machine that stores all the project artifacts. When we execute a Maven build, Maven automatically downloads all the dependency jars into the local repository. Usually, this directory is named .
Introduction. In Maven, there are two kinds of plugins, build and reporting: Build plugins are executed during the build and configured in the <build/> element. Reporting plugins are executed during the site generation and configured in the <reporting/> element.
Finally, I found the problem, there's a file called _maven.repositories in the plugin directory, after I delete the file, all works well!
