when Using start.spring.io projects generated with springboot 2.7 comes with MavenProject 3.8.5 which when imported in intellij causes an error that is quite difficult to debug or not self speaking by itself.

The error

java.lang.RuntimeException: org.codehaus.plexus.component.repository.exception.ComponentLookupException: com.google.inject.ProvisionException: Unable to provision, see the following errors:
1) Error injecting constructor, java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.maven.model.validation.DefaultModelValidator: method 'void <init>()' not found

                What the version of IntelliJ IDEA? That should have been fixed in 2022.1 in the scope of this bug

                Please show the pom file for that project..also more log output of that error ... Check to build on plain command line... not inside of IDEA..

Under Intellij File > Setting > Build Execution... > Build tools > Maven > Maven home path just point to your maven directory:
Apply and reload project.
                this is the only solution that worked for me - thank you! I tried a dozen of other tricks like Maven - Reload, and rebuild, etc - not nothing worked.

                I can confirm that changing Maven to version (in my case) 3.8.1 works with Spring Boot 2.7 as well.

I've just ran into this problem 20mins ago with my friend's project. The solution is just perfect.
If you don't want to update your IDE (for any reason) or downgrade yor Maven version, you just need to change your Maven Home path: (File | Settings | Build,...etc. | Build Tools | Maven) for any listed variant except "...wrapper".
Generally, I use separated maven in C:/my-maven-folder/...wrapper, so I've never had such a problem. Hope it helps!
