Description

When trying to build Spring Security when disconnected from the Internet, the Structure101 plugin complains with:

Unknown host 'structure101.com: Temporary failure in name resolution

The plugin at least should have a way to be turned off when in offline mode.

Or, perhaps better, it may be possible to run without a connection if, for example, Structure101 is already installed locally. I'm not sure about this as the Structure101 library may require a connection to verify the license.

Research direction

Locate the build entry point and configuration for the Structure101 plugin, then reproduce the reported failure with the build disconnected from the Internet. Determine how offline mode is exposed and verify that an offline build no longer attempts the failing host lookup, while preserving the existing plugin behavior when online.
