maven can't find my local artifacts

Question

I can\'t seem to run mvn -o package because it complains with

The repository system is off line but the artifact com.liferay.portal:ut

Answer 1

I also had to remove _remote.repositories in the same way as the _maven.repositories described above. I'm using Maven 3.1.1

find ~/.m2/repository -name _remote.repositories -exec rm -v {} \;
