IntelliJ IDEA – Cannot connect to the Maven process

In the IntelliJ IDEA, clicks on the download sources, and it shows the error Cannot connect to the Maven process.

Terminal


Cannot connect to the Maven process. Try again later.
  If the problem persists, check the Maven Importing JDK settings and restart IntelliJ IDEA

Tested with


  IntelliJ IDEA 2022.2.1 (Community Edition)
  Build #IC-222.3739.54, built on August 16, 2022

Solution

To fix it, we switch from the default "Bundled Maven 3" option to the manually installed Maven path.

In IntelliJ IDEA, click Preferences, Build Tools -> Maven

Change to other Maven installed path.

This does not fix the issue. But what fixes the issue is what intellij suggest. Restart.
