+* IntelliJ fails to import Quarkus Maven project with `java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded` 
+
+In IntelliJ IDEA (version older than `2019.2`) if you see problems in the Maven view claiming `java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded` that means the project import failed.
+  
+To fix the issue, you need to update the Maven importing settings:  
+`Build, Execution, Deployment` > `Build Tools`> `Maven` > `Importing` > `VM options for importer`
+To import Quarkus you need to define the JVM Max Heap Size (E.g. `-Xmx1g`)
+
+**Note*:* As for now, we can't provide a unique Max Heap Size value. We have been reported to require from 768M to more than 3G to import Quarkus properly.
