Why so red? IntelliJ seems to think every declaration/method cannot be found/resolved

Question

I just installed and re-installed IntelliJ. Every Java file is coming up RED. I checked the JDK; it is at 1.6.##. The maven clean install build worked just fine

Answer 1

The issue was that the file I was trying to import was so large that IntelliJ wouldn't run any CodeInsights on it.

Setting the idea.max.intellisense.filesize option to a higher value as per the instructions on this answer resolved my issue.
