IntelliJ new project - maven archetype list is empty

Question

When creating IntelliJ -> New Project -> Maven, the list of archetypes is empty and not populated regardless of how much time has passed. "Loading a list of archetypes ..." continues, but it seems that little can be done. Any suggestions?

Information from mvn -v :

 Apache Maven 3.2.5 (NON-CANONICAL_2014-12-25T17:13:28_root; 2014-12-25T05:13:28-08:00) Maven home: /opt/maven Java version: 1.8.0_25, vendor: Oracle Corporation Java home: /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk/jre Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8 OS name: "linux", version: "3.17.6-1-arch", arch: "amd64", family: "unix" 

IntelliJ IDEA Professional 14.0.2

Answer 1

Maven JRE runs out of memory.

Under Build → Build Tools → Maven → Import, set the VM parameters for the importer to -Xmx1024m (the default value of vaule -Xmx512m too low).

Answer 2

Java Runtime Switching

I had the same problem. My solution was, change the JRE in settings -> Maven -> Import -> JDK for the importer. Switch from "Internal JRE" to "External JRE".

Answer 3

Changing settings -> Maven-> Importing -> JDK to select an importer did not help me. But clearing the value "-Xmx512m", which was in the "Settings"> "Maven-> Import-> VM" for the importer. After clearing this value and saving the settings, the list of Maven archetypes for the new module is loaded immediately into IntelliJ IDEA Professional 14.0.3.

Answer 4

Maximum memory also made for me, IntelliJ Community Edition 2016.2.4

Here is a screenshot of the settings if this helps:

Answer 5

I ran into a similar problem. Looking at the IDE log, I found out that it could not connect the local host. This has been shown below:

I found the solution mentioned in the link below that worked for me. Failed to import Maven project into IntelliJ IDEA

Answer 6

Two changes helped: 1. Clearing the field: Settings (Ctrl + Alt + S) → Assembly, Execution, Deployment → Assembly Tools → Maven → Import → VM Settings for the importer (just make this field empty) 2. Change the “Settings” parameter ( Ctrl + Alt + S) → "Build", "Run", "Deployment" → "Build Tools" → Maven → Import → JDK for the importer in "1.8 (version java 1.8 ........ etc. .)

Answer 7

The file → Settings → Maven type in the search window and the Maven Importing submenu has both options. IntelliJ 2016.3.2

The setup that worked for me is a combination

 1. "JDK for importer" to External(my Installed JDK) and 2. "VM option for importer" to a higher value -Xmx1536m 

But decisive was what was said by Sasha Joostock

After rebooting, I need to increase the option “VM for importer” to a higher value -Xmx1792m. I find it stupid!

Answer 8

You can try changing the VM settings for the importer: -Xmx2048M Settings → Maven → Import. Tested on IntelliJ IDEA 2016.3.4, JRE 1.8.0_111

Answer 9

In my case, I solved it.

'$ The file JAVA_HOME / jre / bin / java does not have permission to run.

Answer 10

After checking the .log idea in ~ / Library / Logs / IntelliJIdea13 /, I found that an exception was thrown, caused by: java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused the host: localhost; Nested exception: java.net.ConnectException: connection rejected. The root cause was my / etc / hosts file was somehow corrupted, and localhost ip was updated to some garbage value. After changing the localhost mapping to 127.0.0.1 my problem is resolved.
