Maven dependency not found

I think the problem is not IntelliJ, I think maven can not download the dependencies, so you can try to force the dependencies download with the following command:

mvn clean install -U

if all needed maven jars have been downloaded ,

try update the local repository manually in setting—maven—repositories.

You could do try with the following solutions:

1.Check if your friend is using any proxy, if so add the proxy settings in the settings.xml of maven folder.

<proxies>
        <proxy>
            <id>optional</id>
            <active>true</active>
            <protocol>http</protocol>
            <host>somthing.com</host>
            <port>portnumber</port>
        </proxy>

    </proxies>

2. update maven and then check with latest version whether you are able to download.
3. you could manually download jars and then update the repository settings in settings.xml

For me, I open the maven tab I observe the jar was broken. I did the below steps to resolve the issue.

1. Remove that not found dependency in the pom
2. Refresh the maven to remove that broken jar
3. Add the dependency back to the pom, then refresh the maven to redownload the jars.

it worked for me.
