Answer 1

File | Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | Build Tools | Maven | Threads (-T option) | 16 (or however many threads you want to try)

mvn compile -T 8

I had the same issue. Maven was taking an hour in IntelliJ and also running from the command line. Using the -T parameter you can tell Maven to use more threads to download artifacts simultaneously. Takes only about 15 minutes now.

Don't use bundled mvn. Point "Maven home directory" to the path on your file system.

After you're done building. Check "Work offline". This stops mvn from searching remote websites each time you build. Uncheck when you update your POM file so it can search for the changes.

You can also skip tests. This is evertyhing from the command line.

mvn clean install -T 50 -o -DskipTests
