Hi Frank,

the UUID of the offline project might differ on your system. You can 
find out the Id in the source code of the workplace toolbar or look it 
up in the database / project table.
Not sure if there's a constant for the offline project/UUID as there is 
for the online project (CmsProject.ONLINE_PROJECT_ID), so I use this 
approach with the UUID directly.

 > Do you mean by offline-project the directory "/sites" or the 
directory "/sites/default" as offline-project?
No, I don't mean the site root/path, I mean the project that you can 
select on the left-hand side side of the toolbar while you're in the 
workplace.
