title: IntelliJ Stuck "Scanning Maven Projects"
body: <p>I just freshly installed IntelliJ Community Edition. When I try to import a Maven project, it gets stuck on the step "Scanning Maven Projects" and says its reading ".../pom.xml". It holds here for about 10 minutes, quits out of this window, and then doesn't import the projects at all.</p>
  
  <p>Some other posts have recommended setting up /etc/hosts file, but mine is already set up with 127.0.0.1 localhost. I've set up the proxy information in IntelliJ and in my .m2/settings.xml file as well.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions on how I can get IntelliJ just to open up my project?</p>
  
  <p>Best,
  Keren</p>
