Intellij 2020.1 won't use my local repository
Hello, so here is my problem:
Using Intellij IDEA 2020.1 (I'm basically blocked from using any other version) to code in Java.
I'm working on a maven project with multiple modules in an environment where there is zero direct access to the internet, and I'm relying on a maven repo that's within the LAN. I have set maven appropriately for this, and using "mvn clean install" in command works perfectly fine.
I have made sure that I have a super pom has all the relevant dependencies and versions, and that all the modules include the relevant dependencies.
However, Intellij is acting in a very random way: in the source code, some imports are marked as "cannot be solved" (despite the maven dependency being in the module's pom), and some look completely fine, but return a compilation error "package does not exist" when building/rebuilding.
What I tried:
- Making sure that File > Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Built Tools > Maven point to my maven and its config files.
- Re-import all maven projects from the Maven window.
- Clearing the .idea folder as all as all .iml files in all modules, and re-importing the maven project through the pom.xml file.
- Deleting the entire project, cheking it out with git, and importing it in intellij afterwards as a maven project.
- Importing from git directly into intellij.
- Invalidate the cache and restart/rebuild.
- Deleting my local .m2 repo.
- Import the project directly in Intellij directly from git instead of using git and maven in command line.
- Closing Intellij, using mvn idea:clean and deleting the .idea folder, than re-opening in Intellij.
...I am running out of ideas. I found this topic that describe exactly that kind of issue for version 2019.1.2, and it was apparently solved by the version 2019.2 EAP, which is a version older than mine (2020.1).
If somehow only a newer version of Intellij IDEA is the answer, please say so, as I might be able to use that push for access to it.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: surprisingly enough, the community edition of Intellij Idea 2020.1 doesn't have this issue for me and immediately works as expected.

Using maven idea plugin to generate IDEA project configuration files is not recommended. This Maven goal may produxe incompatible configuration files. Please try to re-import project into IDE from scratch: delete .idea directory and open project via File | New action pointing to the main pom.xml file.
I resorted to the idea maven plugin, which I did know was broken, because there was literally nothing else left for me to try, to make a point at how stuck I actually am (which is why it's last in the list: I didn't START with that).
I tried the solution you're providing (and a couple of other ways of importing/re-importing a maven project) without success, and added a bit more details in the OP when it comes to re-creating/re-importing the project. Nothing worked.
Please upload IDE logs (use Help | 'Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data' action to collect them) after opening the project and reproducing the problem. Please also provide screenshots or a small screencast showing the problem in the IDE. For uploading you can use https://uploads.jetbrains.com or any file sharing service. Thank you.
