IntellijIDEA not recognizing classes specified in Maven dependencies

Question

I have a project in IntellijIDEA which was created with Maven. I then specified a set of dependencies and external repositories in the Pom.xml file.

The project builds

Answer 1

Might be useful to others that were still stuck like me. None of the suggested fix worked. Actually, not before I fixed my main problem which was the installation location of maven.

In my case, I did not use the standard location. Changing that location in the maven settings (Settings/Maven/Maven home repository) did the trick.

My 2 cents.
