I don't think there is an actual maven IDE. You normally use it from the command line, since it's integration into IDEs is serverly (eclipse...) lacking.

- chii 13y agoIf you use Intellij IDEA, their maven integration is top notch. light years ahead of eclipse.
- chinpokomon 13y agoI concur. I'm the only developer in my shop using IntelliJ. Everyone else uses NetBeans. Whenever someone asks me how to setup NetBeans to handle builds as easily as I do, I have to shrug. Simple things, like switching to offline mode or turning off tests is a chore for NetBeans, but it is just a simple button click for me. If I want to target a specific build profile, I check a check box. As I'm the one who maintains the build, configuring pom.xml files and setting up modules, I can see how it can become difficult for someone who doesn't have the experience I do. OTOH, I've yet to find a problem that stumps me when I'm doing things the Maven way, and I rather enjoy the flexibility and power it provides me. Once I've got the basics in place, maintaining the system is almost trivial.
- smrtinsert 13y agoI don't use maven for my builds these days but that's completely wrong. configuring deps is painless as is adding plugins. I've used it to build maven projs as well as osgi projs.
