Maven plugins can not be found in IntelliJ

For newer versions of IntelliJ, enable the use plugin registry option within the Maven settings as follows:

  1. Click File 🡒 Settings.
  2. Expand Build, Execution, Deployment 🡒 Build Tools 🡒 Maven.
  3. Check Use plugin registry.
  4. Click OK or Apply.

For IntelliJ 14.0.1, open the preferences—not settings—to find the plugin registry option:

  1. Click File 🡒 Preferences.

Regardless of version, also invalidate the caches:

  1. Click File 🡒 Invalidate Caches / Restart.
  2. Click Invalidate and Restart.

When IntelliJ starts again the problem should be vanquished.
