Maven Plugin not found in IntelliJ IDE

Question

I have a new error in my project that is in the pom.xml file. How can I fix it?

The error below shown in IntelliJ idea:

Plugin 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-maven-plugin:' not found  

Answer 1

From the Preferences in Intelli J, navigate to "Build, Execution, Deployment > Build Tools > Maven", check the "Use plugin registry", and click "OK".

Then "File > Invalidate Caches / Restart" to reload Intelli J. The error will go away automatically.

Answer 2

Add following code

    <plugin>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>${parent.version}</version>
    </plugin>

and then click on the icon as shown in screenshot, to load Maven changes in pom.xml file

Answer 3

I had the same problem. This summer Intellij suddenly started throwing this error but build went through. I just had to specify version of plugin and it stopped throwing this error.

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.4.RELEASE</version>
</plugin>
