'Intellij IDEA - Maven not working

I cannot see the list of maven archetypes ("Loading archetype list...") or import an existing maven project in Intellij IDEA 2016.3.4. I tried several things:

  • giving more memory to maven JVM
  • clearing "VM options for importer" setting
  • switching between bundled and external maven directories
  • switching between JDK's used by maven
  • invalidating IDEA cache
  • removing .m2 directory
  • adding "127.0.0.0 localhost" line in hosts

and none of it worked. Here is a fragment of IDEA log file:
