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
If you have any dependencies in pom.xml specific to your organisation than you need to update path of setting.xml for your project which is by default set to your user directory in Ubuntu : /home/user/.m2/settings.xml -> (change it to your apache-maven conf path)
Go to -> intellij settings -> build,Execution, Deployement -> Build Tools -> Maven -> User settings file
