IntelliJ IDEA - Maven home directory setting resets for new projects
intellij-idea, maven, settings
Solution
IntelliJ IDEA 2018.x or later:
Older versions:
You can change it in the Template Project Settings so that all the new projects inherit this setting. You can access it from the `File` menu when the project is open or from the Welcome Screen: `Configure` | `Template Project` | `Settings`.
Problem
I've just started using IntelliJ (I'm used to Eclipse) and I've come across something that really annoys me. Whether it's me or IntelliJ, I really want this fixed. Every time I open a new project, the "Maven home directory" setting is reset and I therefore have to set this every time I open a project I haven't opened before. Is there any way to set this setting permanently/globally?
