Using JMH within a secure environment

[Aleksey Shipilev]

What Bernd said.

After you resolved the dependencies (usually the first time you build
the benchmark project), the access to outside world is not required,
since Maven cached all required bits locally. You will need the Internet
access first time around only. Adding a benchmark does not introduce new
dependencies, and therefore you can add @Benchmark and rebuild the
benchmark project without accessing the outside world.

But I think there's some confusion about "using" JMH. You have to have
Internet connection at least once when building the benchmarks, but that
can be done on local developer machine. You can _run_ JMH benchmarks
from the uberjar on isolated machine afterwards. (In fact, we do that
every so often).

Thanks,
-Aleksey.
