When I create a new Maven project, I see an error message that says:
[FATAL_ERROR] Cannot start Maven: No valid Maven installation found. Either set the home directory in the configuration dialog or set the M2_HOME environment variable on your system.
In terminal (I’m on a Mac) if I do:
echo $M2
echo $M2_HOME

Why would IntelliJ not be able to pick this up?
Environment variables set in terminal are not always visible to GUI applications:
