[rdf4j-dev] Issues with IntelliJ and Maven

[Håvard Ottestad <hmottestad@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I’m having some issues with IntelliJ lately. It keeps complaining that it can’t find classes (from dependencies) even though everything is actually fine. Sometimes the only way to solve the issue is to restart IntelliJ, reimport all the dependencies and rebuild the entire project.

I was wondering if maybe IntelliJ is getting confused since we list a repository for snapshot builds in our top pom.xml and maybe the issue is that it is downloading or caching older snapshot builds.

So I was wondering if I could comment out the repository from the pom.xml file? 

Here: https://github.com/eclipse/rdf4j/blob/3395bbffc47f1cf034694ac1646f14e263beccaa/pom.xml#L993

As far as I understand the only practical difference this makes is that you would have to build all your dependent modules instead of downloading the latest snapshot build from the repository. Please correct me if I’m wrong though!

Any chance I could try this fix and see if it helps (eg. commit it to main and develop). We can always reverse it if it doesn’t help.

Cheers,

Håvard
