title: How to deploy artifacts to Maven Repository (JFrog artifactory) through Jenkins Build Offline?
body: <p><strong>Context:</strong>
  I am trying to do a simple build (not through a pipeline job) on a maven project through Jenkins which is installed in an offline environment (no internet connection). The build happens successfully and I see the HelloMaven.jar successfully deployed to JFrog artifactory which is again installed offline.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Problem:</strong>
  But the overall Jenkins build fails with the reason</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>"Build Step:Deploy artifacts to Maven Repository changed build result to FAILURE"</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>The Jenkins build console output is mentioned as below:</p>

  <p>For the last four days I have taken trying to fix the issue and went through a number of posts as this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6950346/infrastructure-with-maven-jenkins-nexus/11952832#11952832">Infrastructure with maven, Jenkins, Nexus</a>. I am not sure where I am going wrong.
  Any clue would be extremely grateful.</p>
