Cannot convert project... Premature end of file error in Intellij IDE

I also had this after a power failure, I simply deleted the workspace.xml file from the projects .idea folder, restarted IntelliJ and it seemed to be OK apart from loosing which files were open.

Cheers, Nick

I had this exact error when my laptop bluescreened. I solved it by:

• Exit IntelliJ IDEA
• Rename .idea folder
• Start IntelliJ IDEA
• Create new project from existing sources
• Exit IntelliJ IDEA
• Copy all files from old .idea folder to newly created one.
• Restart IntelliJ IDEA
