I have just upgraded my Intellij from version 2019.2.x to 2019.3 but am getting the following Maven plug-in errors in my Java project.
Cannot resolve plugin org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin:1.6.0 Cannot resolve plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:3.1.0
Below are the versions listed of Maven (which I just upgraded from 3.6.0 to 3.6.3) and Java v11.
> Apache Maven 3.6.3 Maven home: /usr/local/Cellar/maven/3.6.3/libexec
> Java version: 11.0.2, vendor: Oracle Corporation, runtime:
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.0.2.jdk/Contents/Home Default
locale: en_GB, platform encoding: UTF-8 OS name: "mac os x", version:
"10.15.1", arch: "x86_64", family: "mac"
Below is an extract from the intellij log file (idea.log)

UPDATE: I have managed to resolve the issue now. I think the problem was that although at the time that I did the upgrade I was connected to the internet I wasn't connected to my company VPN (as I was working from home that day) and this may have caused the look-up to my company's NEXUS repo to fail. Later, when I did connect to the VPN, Maven wasn't able to re-sync the plug-ins for some reason. So the issue wasn't related to the Intellij upgrade at all. I hope this technique to resolve these types of errors can help someone else.
This post gist/github helped me to resolve both issues.
1/Cannot resolve plugin org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin:1.6.0
I located the entry for this plugin in the .m2 directory,
/Users/my-user/.m2/repository/org/codehaus/mojo/exec-maven-plugin/1.6.0
I deleted this entry and did a Maven re-sync from within Intellij. This time it seemed to find it ok.
I managed to fix the second error using the same approach,
2/Cannot resolve plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:3.1.0
this plug-in is located under,
/Users/my-user/.m2/repository/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-resources-plugin/3.1.0
I deleted this entry as well and then did another Maven re-sync from within Intellij and this worked too.
