filesystem, it will continue to be available.

  The question remaining is: Which level of offline mode will we support? It
  seems reasonable to assume that users will be able to tell when localhost is
  not active (in most cases, localhost should be available, even if the rest of
  the network is not). Therefore, let's concentrate on the state where no
  network <beyond localhost> exists, and leave the more extreme state to users

                    // on Windows, need a short path or we hit 256 character limit for paths
                    // using EXECUTOR_NUMBER guarantees that concurrent builds on same agent
                    // will not trample each other plus workaround for JENKINS-52657
                    dir(isUnix() ? 'test' : "c:\\mvn-it-${EXECUTOR_NUMBER}.tmp") {
                        def WORK_DIR=pwd()

 We need to define what happens in the when things are not setup correctly

 o ~/.m2 directory does not exist
 o ~/.m2/maven.properties does not exist
 o if they once existed but now to do not exist

                    // on Windows, need a short path or we hit 256 character limit for paths
                    // using EXECUTOR_NUMBER guarantees that concurrent builds on same agent
                    // will not trample each other plus workaround for JENKINS-52657
                    dir(isUnix() ? 'test' : "c:\\mvn-it-${EXECUTOR_NUMBER}.tmp") {
                        def WORK_DIR=pwd()
                        try {
