According to Apache Maven :
Downloading in Maven is triggered by a project declaring a dependency that is not present in the local repository (or for a SNAPSHOT, when the remote repository contains one that is newer). By default, Maven will download from the central repository.
In Maven, when you’re declared library does not exist either inlocal repository nor Maven center repository, the process will stop and output error messages to your Maven console.
