Did you turn on Maven's offline mode? In my experience the
offline mode is not reliable, you often have to switch back
online, and then you don't have the same build duration! It's
something I can't bear with Maven 2: why bother doing HTTP
requests as the jar is already fetched?!

That's what I do, Ivy files are automatically generated from POMs
using XSLT, no manual editing of the generated files is necessary
afterwards. There are also a bunch of build.xml files that are
generated in every module.
