  NOTE: One side-effect of this design change is that all offline-mode code can
  be isolated to maven-core, maven-plugin-descriptor, and [possibly]
  maven-artifact. Usage of maven-wagon will be determined by an offline-aware
  manager.

* Assumptions: What is Offline?

  For the purposes of determining the areas sensitive to offline status,
  it is definitely useful to define what the offline state really means.

  define for each {{{../maven-model/maven.html#class_dependency}dependency type}} information on the artifact
  (classifier, extension, language) and how to manage it as dependency (add to classpath, include dependencies).

  They are replaced in Maven 4 with Maven 4 API Core's {{{../api/maven-api-core/apidocs/org/apache/maven/api/Type.html}Dependency Types}},

Apache Maven is a software project management and comprehension tool. Based on
the concept of a project object model (POM), Maven can manage a project's
build, reporting and documentation from a central piece of information.
