'How to disable Maven auto import automatically in IntelliJ IDEA?

I believe this setting might be causing IntelliJ IDEA to behave slowly. I used to get a popup and finally clicked 'do this automatically', and now it is on, but I want to turn it off again. How can I disable Maven 'auto import'?

Solution 1:^[1]

Although above answers are correct. I have observed that above option is not available on IntelliJ 2020.2 version. So, there you need to go Settings -> Build Tool -> Check "Reload projects after changes in the build scripts" -> check "Any changes"

Solution 2:^[2]

Uncheck Project Settings | Maven | Importing | Import Maven projects automatically.

For IDEA 2020+, open Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | Build Tools and check "Reload projects after changes in the build scripts" and "Any changes"

Solution 3:^[3]

Go to Intellij's Settings and navigate to Build, Execution, Deployment -> Maven -> Importing -> uncheck Import Maven projects automatically.

For me (IntelliJ IDEA 14.1.1 on Ubuntu 12) this setting was in Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Build Tools > Maven > Importing > [X] Import Maven projects automatically.

In case it moves again, or you want to get to it quickly, the Maven settings are also findable through a general search by double-tapping Shift and then typing maven, which is how I found it this time--I think the setting location in IDEA must have been moved since the other answers were posted.

Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Build Tools -> Maven -> Importing -> Import Maven projects automatically

Solution 6:^[6]

Since it is regarding InteliJ IDEA 13, follow these steps to disable auto import maven.

Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Build Tools -> Maven -> Importing -> UNTICK Import Maven projects automatically

This steps also works for InteliJ IDEA 14 upwards excluding InteliJ IDEA 20 and above.
