IntelliJ IDEA: Load Maven Project fails with "java.net.SocketException: Broken pipe"

Intellij Idea successfully recognized that the opened project was a Maven Project and showed a pop-up with the button Load Maven Project, but after clicking on the button - nothing happened on the UI. enter image description here

I have checked the Intellij Idea log file and found a multiple errors logs like this:

2024-09-23 21:28:20,439 [1325080] INFO - #o.j.i.maven - Using extension org.jetbrains.idea.maven.maven3.Maven3Support@59e87873 to start MavenServer 2024-09-23 21:28:20,451 [1325092] INFO - #o.j.i.maven - Sent token to maven server 2024-09-23 21:28:20,711 [1325352] WARN - #c.i.e.r.RemoteProcessSupport - The cook failed to start due to java.net.SocketException: Broken pipe 2024-09-23 21:28:20,753 [1325394] INFO - #c.i.e.r.RemoteProcessSupport - Terminating: 127.0.0.1:61362/Maven36ServerImpl3157b954 2024-09-23 21:28:20,753 [1325394] INFO - STDERR - Exception in thread "DefaultDispatcher-worker-14" org.jetbrains.idea.maven.server.CannotStartServerException: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: java.rmi.ConnectIOException: error during JRMP connection establishment; nested exception is: 2024-09-23 21:28:20,753 [1325394] INFO - STDERR - java.net.SocketException: Broken pipe

seems like those errors were thrown exactly when I clicked the Load Maven Project Button

Any ideas on how to fix it?

My environment is the following:

Solution

  • The issue is caused by ESET. We've received multiple reports of the "Broken pipe" error caused by it when the IDE tries to use localhost for IPC.

    This is incorrect behavior of ESET, it should not block local resources. Please contact ESET support for the solution. Disable/uninstall ESET as a workaround.
