If they are only "deploying on their own machines" then it can hardly be called a "deployment" in the Maven-sense of the word. Is there a reason you cannot simply use "install"?
If you absolutely insist on going down this road (though its a bit like driving everywhere backwards IMO), I would have a standard settings.xml file that defines a repo which actually exists on everyone's local machines in a common place in their filesystem. Then I would use <mirrorOf>* to specify that this repo is a mirrorOf Central, and all other repos. Then you should be able to run "online" which would clear up the issues that generated this email thread. But again, if this is how you're using Maven, you're (probably) doing it wrong.
