To configure the Plugin Repository to update its plugins information offline, you need to go to Admin -> Plugins -> Confluence Atlassian Plugin Repository and click on the Configure link.

There are four plugin repository data source options:

  1. HTTP Data Source Generator - Plain text XML file served over HTTP. Never used, except for debugging.
  2. Subversion Generator - Check out the metadata from SVN and generate the XML internally.
  3. Local Generator - Read the metadata off your local filesystem and generate the XML internally
  4. Proxy Client - pull XML data from another Confluence Plugin Repository Client, that has been configured to act as a server (in most cases, this is http://confluence.developer.atlassian.com).

In this case you would need to choose the Local Generator option.

The input path should be the directory containing XML files downloaded (ie. checked out) from http://svn.atlassian.com/svn/public/contrib/repository/atlassian-plugin-repository/trunk/metadata.v2.confluence/
