Answer 1

I Had Similar issue in my mac.I just deleted .m2 repository and did maven clean install again worked.

Answer 2

In my case, the gradle version of the project was 6.2.2 and the 6.4.1(system default gradle) path was provided in the Intellij gradle settings. This issue appeared suddenly though. I was working on this project for a long time without any issues. I am not quite sure as to what triggered this issue. The gradle default version package was fine as the gradle build was fine from command line. :)

Referred to suggestions from here

Any one of the below solved the issue on my system:

• Provide the path to project gradle version, in gradle settings. or
• Change the 'distributionUrl' value in your gradle-wrapper.properties to have 'all' instead of 'bin'. And also make sure you have gradle-wrapper.properties configured in your intellij gradle settings.

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.2.2-all.zip

Answer 3

As mentioned above, just delete the corrupted cache and restart Intellij.

Running gradle in the commandline can help knowing what you should delete. For instance:

$ ./gradlew --version
Could not unzip /home/cesarc/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-5.6.2-all/9st6wgf78h16so49nn74lgtbb/gradle-5.6.2-all.zip to /home/cesarc/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-5.6.2-all/9st6wgf78h16so49nn74lgtbb.
Reason: error in opening zip file

and after deleting the folder /home/cesarc/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-5.6.2-all/9st6wgf78h16so49nn74lgtbb the problem was solved:

$ ./gradlew --version
Downloading https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.6.2-all.zip

Answer 4

We had this issue when internet connection dropped while Idea was downloading project dependencies. We solved it by deleting the corrupted file from cache. Cache location depends on your build tool, e. g. for Maven it's in ~/.mvn, for Gradle it's in ~/.gradle.

Answer 5

This can also occurs when you use a dependency that requires to be of type pom (to transitively add all dependencies, useful for BOMs) but without specifying it.

For example if you have a Spring Boot project and use that starter :

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.zkoss.zkspringboot</groupId>
    <artifactId>zkspringboot-starter</artifactId>
    <version>${zkspringboot.version}</version>
</dependency>

Then mvn clean package will give you the following error :

Error: java: cannot access com.example.myproject

And running the app will result in the following error :

java: error reading ...\.m2\repository\org\zkoss\zkspringboot\zkspringboot-starter\2.3.0\zkspringboot-starter-2.3.0.jar; zip END header not found

because it should not perform any packaging.

Adding the pom packaging type fixes the problem, so that it keeps the artifact simply as a descriptor of dependency versions :

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.zkoss.zkspringboot</groupId>
    <artifactId>zkspringboot-starter</artifactId>
    <version>${zkspringboot.version}</version>
    <type>pom</type>
</dependency>

Answer 6

Tweak file watching settings did the trick for me.

For Ubuntu/Mac Run these 2 commands.

sudo echo "fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 524288" | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/40-idea.conf

sudo sysctl -p --system
