Grails project not working without internet connection

Question

I am relatively new to grails and should know something really basic. Right now I need to connect to the Internet to start the grails project, otherwise the project will try to resolve the dependencies indefinitely. Could not find this in the documentation. I assume that he is trying to look for updated versions of plugins?

How to disable this feature so that the project works without an Internet connection.

Grails 1.3.7 works (in my experience) without an internet connection, except for the first start:

In the first run, it will resolve dependencies from the Internet. But they will be cached locally (check the $user/.grails , $user/.m2 and $user/.ivy2 folders). In the next run, you will not need an Internet connection.

But there is one catch - if one of your plugins depends on the version of the snapshot, it will try to connect to the Internet every time you start your project to see if there is a newer version. See This Grails Question : Working Offline with Snapshot Dependencies for a Solution.
