Maven issues: IntelliJ keeps displaying message: reading pom.xml

I'm on IntelliJ 8.1.

My status bar on the bottom displays a message that says reading pom.xml that never stops.  My pom.xml is as follows...


<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">

            <version>1.2</version>
        </dependency>
       
    </dependencies>
</project>

I also typed in a class name and hit Alt+Enter... The quick fix Add Maven dependency doesn't work either for me
