If an artefact is not resolvable Go in the ditectory of your  m2 repository and check that you DON T have that kind of file    build-helper-maven-plugin-1 10 pom lastUpdated  If you don t have any artefact in the folder  just deleted it  and try again to re-import in IntelliJ   the content of those file is like     NOTE  This is an Aether internal implementation file  its format can be changed without prior notice   Fri Mar 10 10 36 12 CET 2017  default-central-https    repo maven apache org maven2  lastUpdated 1489138572430 https    repo maven apache org maven2  error Could not transfer artifact org codehaus mojo  build-helper-maven-plugin  pom  1 10 from to central  https    repo maven apache org maven2    connect timed out   Without the   lastUpdated file  IntelliJ  or Eclipse by the way  is enable to reload what is missing

I am using IntelliJ Ultimate 2018 2 6 and found out  that the feature Reimport All Maven Project does not use the JDK  which is set in the Settings  Build  Execution  Deployment   Build Tools   Maven   Runner   Instead it uses it s own JRE in IntelliJ HOME jre64  by default  You can configure the JDK for the Importer in Build  Execution  Deployment   Build Tools   Maven   Importing   In my specific problem  an SSL certificate was missing in the JREs keystore  Unfortunately IDEA only logs this issue in it s own logfile  A little red box to inform about the RuntimeException had been really nice

I had this problem for years with the maven-deploy plugin  and the error showed up even though I was not directly including the plugin in my POM  As a work-around I had to force include the plugin with a version into my POMs plugin section just to remove the red-squiggly   After trying every solution on Stack Overflow  I found the problem  Looking into my  m2 repository org apache maven plugins maven-deploy-plugin directory there was a version  X Y  along with  2 8 2  et al  So I deleted the entire maven-deploy-plugin directory  and then re-imported my Maven project   So it seems the issue is an IntelliJ bug in parsing the repository   I would not not remove the entire repository though  just the plugins that report an error
