Introduce explicit mode of stub downloading

[marcingrzejszczak]

Currently we have a combination of workOffline, repositoryRoot

• workOffline:true, repositoryRoot:null - pick from local maven repo
• workOffline:false, repositoryRoot:sth - download from maven repo
• workOffline:false, repositoryRoot:null - pick from classpath

for version 1.2.0 we could consider a Spring Boot Test style of explicitly providing an option. Local, Classpath, Maven or sth like that.

Currently we are using gradle and the dependencies are downloaded to another folder that is not in the .m2/repository. Is there a way it could work offline from a local gradle repository?

I think that you can change the repositoryRoot to point to the directory. I wonder if Aether can even work with the Gradle cache. I doubt that it would work. You can however add the dependency as a test dependency and pick it up from classpath.
