Force Intellij IDEA to reread all maven dependenci

Question

How to force intellij idea to reread/update all dependencies specified in the pom file ?

Answer 1

If you are using version ranges for any dependencies, make sure that IntelliJ is using Maven 3 to import the project. You can find this setting in: Settings > Maven > Importing > Use Maven3 to import project. Otherwise you may find that SNAPSHOT versions are not imported correctly.

Answer 2

The leftmost button (blue cycle) below also reimports all maven projects:

Answer 3

Press Ctrl+Shift+A to find actions, and input "reimport", you will find the "Reimport All Maven Projects".

On a Mac, use ⌘+⇧+A instead.

Answer 4

If the reimport does not work (i.e. doesn't remove old versions of dependencies after a pom update), there is one more chance:

• open the project settings (CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+S)
• on modules, delete all libs that you want to reimport (e.g. duplicates)
• IDEA will warn that some are still used, confirm
• Apply and select OK
• then reimport all maven projects.

Answer 5

For IntelliJ IDEA 14.0

Project > [your project name] > right click > Maven > Reimport

Answer 6

Open the "Maven Projects" tab/window and clicking the "Reimport All Maven Projects" in the upper left corner starts to reload all dependencies from their repositories. The status bar informs about the process.

What lets you think that this is not working correctly? Maybe any of the dependencies can't be load from the repository?
