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

Had the same issue, however the following answer fixed my problem: Maven project won't compile after upgrade to Intellij 13.1 from 12

The problem itself occured after I updated to IntelliJ 13.1.4, pre to that patch all worked fine/as intended.
