Maven plugins can not be found in IntelliJ

org.a         


        

Answer 1

I am using IntelliJ Ultimate 2018.2.6 and found out, that the feature Reimport All Maven Project does not use the JDK, which is set in the Settings: Build, Execution, Deployment | Build Tools | Maven | Runner. Instead it uses it's own JRE in IntelliJ_HOME/jre64/ by default. You can configure the JDK for the Importer in Build, Execution, Deployment | Build Tools | Maven | Importing.

In my specific problem, an SSL certificate was missing in the JREs keystore. Unfortunately IDEA only logs this issue in it's own logfile. A little red box to inform about the RuntimeException had been really nice...
