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

probably - old bug in caching system. it happens in ALL versions, especially if you upgrade your version of IntelliJ or JDK. To fix it: 1) close the GUI. 2) go to %HOME_DIR%.IntelliJIdeaXXXX\system\caches and delete it 3) start the the GUI again.
