Answer 1

If this is an issue very specific to intellij, I would suggest do the following steps You can try running mvn clean install.(Depending on your network speed it will pull every dependency)

Change intellij settings in Preferences->build,execution,deployment->maven->Maven home directory->{now change this to point to your mvn home rather than bundled mvn}

mvn -v in command line should give you the maven home path. Now it won't try to download dependencies again.
