Can not download sources with Intellij Idea community 12.1.4 and maven 3.0.5

Question

I click \"download sources and documentation\" in Intellij Idea Community Edition 12.1.4 and get error that sources can not be downloaded. But when I try:

mv         


        

Answer 1

In Intellij 2017.x, 2016.x, 15.x, 14.x the given solution does not work as the option is removed.

The problem can be solved by changing JDK for Importer to a latest JDK instead of User Internal JRE which was 1.6.0 by default on Mac

The setting JDK For Importer can be found in:

Preferences -> Build, Execution,Deployment -> Build Tools -> Maven -> Importing
