I've found the problem. I was running IDEA under root user (I needed
to debug an application on port allowed only to root some time ago,
and since then the start up script of idea was running under root
user) When I switched to normal user it was able to import pom.xml
file. Hope this help you to support for similar problems (I think
environment variables under root are different than under other users)
And sorry for disturbing you.
