`-Dmaven.multiModuleProjectDirectory not set` issue with Maven and IntelliJ

Question

I\'ve spent quite some time trying to figure out what I\'m doing wrong and hoping someone may be able to help.

My current setup is running Maven 3.3.3 (via homebrew)

Answer 1

Just in case you have that error again go to Settings -> Maven -> Runner and add

-Dmaven.multiModuleProjectDirectory=$M2_HOME

to VM Options.
