Maven tool window disappeared in IntelliJ IDEA 2024.1


The Maven tool window has disappeared from my Maven-driven project, with pom.xml file present.

I am using IntelliJ IDEA 2024.1 (Ultimate Edition).

Here is a screen shot showing:

  • No Maven tool available
  • The Maven plugin is activated

enter image description here

Running the latest version of macOS (Sonoma, 14.4.1).


My Question is similar to How to get the Maven project window in Intellij 14 | Update: cannot see the right side "tab bar" with Maven project. But that Question is for a much older version of IntelliJ. The Answers there no longer apply.


Solution

  • Delete .idea folder

    1. Quit IntelliJ
    2. Delete the .idea folder from within your project folder.
    3. Restart IntelliJ, re-open your project.

    All should be good then.
