Maven plugins can not be found in IntelliJ

Question

After updating IntelliJ from version 12 to 13, the following Maven-related plugins cannot be resolved:

org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-clean-plugin:2.4.1
org.a         


        

Answer 1

This did the trick for me...delete all folders and files under 'C:\Users[Windows User Account].m2\repository'.

Finally ran 'Reimport All Maven Projects' in the Maven Project tab in IntelliJ.
