Enable Maven support IntelliJ IDEA 2022

I just updated IntelliJ IDEA from 2021.3 to 2022.1, and it appears I lost maven support.

I have a scala plugin, which was automatically installed, but I've never had to do anything to have the option to build a project as a maven project, but now that option is gone. The new menu format offers me native IntelliJ, or Gradle.

If I look for plugins, there are a ton of them, but they all appear to be "extra features", and none of them (that I can see, it's hard to be sure with so many) are actually core JetBrains tools (which I would expect this to be).

Here is the new project window, offering IntelliJ and Gradle build systems, but not maven. The IntelliJ page shows a screenshot of this page that includes maven.

Since I suspect this will be the next question from kind folks trying to help, here's the window I get if I try to "add framework support" to the project:

Again, Maven's not on the list.

Also, FWIW, this is my command line:

$ mvn --version
Apache Maven 3.8.1 (05c21c65bdfed0f71a2f2ada8b84da59348c4c5d)
Maven home: /home/simon/apache-maven-3.8.1
Java version: 17.0.1, vendor: Eclipse Adoptium, runtime: /usr/local/jdk-17.0.1+12
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "linux", version: "5.4.0-117-generic", arch: "amd64", family: "unix"

What can I try next?

(Posted solution on behalf of the question author, to move it to the correct place).

The solution, courtesy of the IntelliJ forum, is that for reasons I didn't ask about, the installation had a file "disabled_plugins.txt" which explicitly named Maven. This file was in the config directory, and for me, on Linux, was: ~/.config/JetBrains/IdeaIC2022.1/disabled_plugins.txt.

Deleting that file and restarting allows everything to work as expected.

You can add Maven framework to your module by right clicking the module -> Add Framework Support and selecting Maven.
