Intelli J IDEA takes forever to update indices

Question

Is it normal for Intelli J to take a lot of time (almost 12 hours) to update indices for a project? I just installed Intelli J on my machine and imported a rather large Mave

Answer 1

I tried deleting the cache and it works perfectly. Thanks for the solution friends.

Just:

1. Open IntelliJ IDEA
2. Select the File menu
3. Select the Invalidate Caches / Restart... menu.
   Once selected you get a pop-up with a bunch of options.
4. Select Invalidate and Restart
   and before doing that make sure you saved all your changes else it might delete some unsaved changes.

Once you hit that, IntelliJ will restart and then you can see that all the indexing is done really fast.
