When creating IntelliJ → New Project → Maven, the archetype list is blank and does not populate no matter how long the amount of time elapsed. The "Loading archetype list..." continues but does not appear to do much. Any suggestions?

Info from mvn -v:

Maven's JRE is running out of memory.

Under Build → Build Tools → Maven → Importing, set VM options for importer to -Xmx1024m (the default vaule -Xmx512m is too low).
