2018.1.6 reseting default maven home directory
I am setting up a new PC and have installed 2018.1.6 Intellij IDEAS. I then start it and go to Configure > Project Defaults > Settings, and set the maven home directory and settings file. I confirm the values, and I then click Apply, Ok. If i go back to the settings, i see the new settings. Next i close IDEAS.
I reopen IDEAS and i go to the settings and/or the default project settings, and they have reset back to Maven 3. Why?
I've changed the default location for the various IDEAS files, by changing the ideas.properties file and that is where the files are being written.
I need to get these defaults, which i have done in the past, so when i import all my existing code, i won't have to set the repo in every project.

I think the cause of this is that i had yet to create a new project or import a project. Once i imported my first project, i could then set the values.
