IntelliJ Shortcut to force maven reimport

Question

Does IntelliJ IDEA have a short-cut to force maven project reimport (to reload dependencies). I happen to be working with two dependant projects and I make that action many times during the day.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You can define your own key map in IDE Settings. To do it :

• Menu File > Settings
• Under IDE Settings, choose Keymap
• Expand the tree to Plug-ins > Maven integration
• You normally see "Reimport All Maven Projects"
• Right-click on this item and choose a Key or Mouse shortcut.

(I did this with IDEA EAP 12, under windows)

Answer 2

I looked throught keymap reference(Help->Dafault Keymap Reference) and didn't find anything with maven. But when I make some changes in my pom.xml IDEA shows dialog in which it offer to import all dependencies.

other maven settings you can find in File->Settings->Maven->Import or use combination Shift+CTRL+A and in input field write maven.

Answer 3

With newer versions of Intellij and macos, hit shift-shift and then type "reload maven" to get to the "Reload All Maven Projects" action. This will refresh the dependencies - no need to reimport.
