Description bht 2016-11-26 05:27:02 UTC 
We need a way to manually bypass the remote maven index download on a computer that cannot get a fast internet connection, or when the maven site is too slow. It is acceptable to subsequently not let the IDE update the maven index at all (there is an IDE option for that already), so keep the remote index update a repeatable manual process. Essentially we would need a supported way to install the index files manually from a copy obtained using other means.

I get the impression that the IDE works only under ideal conditions. Unfortunately, unlimited bandwidth, or a corporate maven repository is not always achievable.

Please refer to bug 262257, bug 239915, bug 253436, bug 231927, bug 254312.

in case that manually copying the index folder from one userdir to another would is acceptable for you 
than it is {userdir}/var/cache/mavenindex/{repository_id}

Thanks! I will try that.
