Why is Intellij Idea Java IDE not recognizing updates to my local maven projects

I created an Intellij-idea (11.1) single module project based on a maven projects, some of the maven dependencies are other projects also created by me.

All these other projects have been installed locally with mvn install and everything was working okay.

However the problem occurs when I make a change to one of these local projects such as adding a new method, despite running mvn install and resychronizing main project pom I cannot get IntelliJ to be aware of the new methods I've added. If I build my main project with mvn it works okay its only within Intellij itself that I have a problem.

I can assume that you do not use SNAPSHOT in version e.g.

  <groupId>com.my.app</groupId>
  <artifactId>my-app</artifactId>
  <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

if you use just 

version>1.0</version>

It means that version 1.0 is stable and any project that has dependency on it will download it just once (at first time).

SNAPSHOT - shows that current project is under development so your maven will download it each time you run install

More information you can find in Maven documentation
