title: Importing to IntelliJ - Error package org.springframework.boot does not exist
body: <p>Dear Stackoverflow Community, I have the following problem with my spring boot starter application. I imported the starter project as a new maven project into IntelliJ. But IntelliJ does not find the dependencies I specified in the pom.</p>

  <p>If I try to run the project I get the following error message.</p>

  <p>I already tried everything from re-installing IntelliJ to re-importing the project or redownloading the dependencies. I simply dont know why IntelliJ doesn´t find the dependencies.</p>
  <p>My pom.xml looks as following</p>

  <p>The first time I tried to edit the <code>pom.xml</code> it said to me &quot;this file does not belong to the project&quot;. Maybe this might be one reason.</p>
  <p>Running the whole thing with 'mvn install' or 'mvn clean verify' works.</p>
