IntelliJ IDEA 13.1 - Updating maven repository index authentication failure

Question

When I want to update indices from the central Maven repository, I always get an error:

java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.IOException: Authorization exception retrieving nexes-maven-repository-index.properties.

What I am missing here?

The workaround is to disable an option to Use Maven 3 in IDEA Settings | Maven | Importing.

Another workaround is to replace Maven jars in IDEA distribution with more recent versions.

Original problem will be fixed in IDEA 13.1.2 (to be released soon).

I used the "replace Maven jars" approach, and it works. Thanks again. – user3428555 Mar 28 '14 at 10:22
For future reference: I disabled the option "Use Maven 3" and it worked for me. – Michaël Demey Apr 02 '14 at 13:00
Still not fixed in 13.1.3 :( – makovkastar Jun 06 '14 at 14:47
@makovkastar This specific issue is fixed, if you still have a problem, please submit another bug at http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/IDEA. – CrazyCoder Jun 06 '14 at 14:48
This is fixed for me in 13.1.3, after upgrading from 13.1.1 (where the Maven 3 checkbox fix did not work). Thanks. – snappieT Jul 17 '14 at 19:42
