Make grails to run locally (intranet)

Question

After reading this post, I have to say that I am in the exact same situation.

I can use USB keys to transfert files from the internet on my computer, but my computer could not access to the Internet.

So my question is : how set up my computer environment to make grails compile and run the first time without Internet ?

Which packages do I have to download, how to create my folder, and configure my build.gradle to make it running ? (when I want to visit maven repository, I see a looooot of folder and subfolder, and so on. Do I have to create the same arborescence ? Do I have to download it all ? Does it existe any software to make it automatically ? (scrappy ?)

Anny tutorial, help is welcome, and I am ready to create a full tutorial when (if) I finally achieve this.

Thanks in advance !

(At this point, I create the war file for my project on a machine with internet access and make it running on the intranet computer with tomcat, but this solution is not satisfaying for developpement)

Basically we need internet connection to download required dependencies/jars from remote location(Maven). And even our Maven comes already with a local repository(~/.m2/repository)

To Installs a packaged application or plugin into the local Maven cache use following command:

grails maven-install [--binary]

Please check documentation here

In your new application do modify below details:

Local Resolvers

If you do not wish to use a public Maven repository you can specify a flat file repository:

repositories {
    flatDir name:'myRepo', dirs:'/path/to/repo'
}

To specify your local Maven cache (~/.m2/repository) as a repository:

repositories {
    mavenLocal()
}

Please refer this and this for all details and documentation
