Unable to import Maven project into IntelliJ IDEA

Question

I\'m having problems importing any Maven projects into IntelliJ IDEA. I create an empty Maven project like this:

$ mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.mycom         


        

Answer 1

I'm using the community edition 2017.2.1 and I had the same issue, I had to change the JDK version of the maven importer to the correct version(from 1.6 to 1.8) to make it work.
