I'm trying to add Spring Boot to a maven project and i'm getting the following error and it's not being recgonized and allowing me to add dependencies "Dependency 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web:2.3.1.RELEASE' not found" Here is an image of my dependencies block in the pom.xml file. I am unsure what i am doing incorrectly.

IntelliJ 2020 has one of the worst user interfaces in the history of computing when it comes to Maven. Look for the tiny:
towards the upper right hand part of the IntelliJ window when you're in your pom.xml
. Click on the "M" refresh logo and that will reload your pom.xml and resolve dependencies.

Starting with 2020.1.2 version there is a new 3-state option so that the changes can be imported automatically: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43192504/how-do-i-redisable-gradle-auto-import-for-an-intellij-idea-project. – CrazyCoder Jun 18 '20 at 18:19

Your opinion is appreciated, but would be better expressed in the relevant ticket, than in the answer to the specific user question: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-235459. As you can tell from the votes count, you are not alone and it was indeed a poor solution to the problem. – CrazyCoder Jun 18 '20 at 18:26

I did open a ticket - but not someone starting out may not have seen that. – stdunbar Jun 18 '20 at 18:27
