Manually trigger update of Maven cache

IntelliJ 2017.2 is not so "intelli" with Maven. You must manually invoke an update of the Maven cache of repository information listing archetypes.

  1. Go to: Preferences > Build, Execution, Deployment > Build Tools > Maven > Repositories.
  2. For each of the items you care about in the list of Indexed Maven Repositories, click the row, wait a moment, then click the Update button.
  3. Wait a long while, several minutes or more as the local repository cache is synched with the repository servers on the internet.

There is an open feature request to add automatic update of the Maven cache when opening the New Project wizard.
