Is there a better way to get the usages of a maven dependency in the latest version of IntelliJ IDEA than How to find the usage of a jar imported by maven dependency? ?
This feature is not yet implemented. Feel free to upvote for IDEA-51267.
However, you can expand the jar file and select packages inside of it. Then choose Find Usages:

I found a pretty old post with this question but unfortunately he didn't get any help. I hope someone can assist me.
I created a repo at GitHub. After cloning it to my computer I tried to add the following framework support: Maven, JSF, EJB, CDI, etc. I know I could add the files manually. But, I want to use what the IDE has to offer.
However, the only framework showing up is SQL, which is different from this post from stackoverflow and from their documentation.
Has anyone had this same problem and got it working?
Intellij reacts to changes in your Maven pom.xml file. Maven does not react to changes in your IntelliJ project module settings.
The steps that you should follow here are
Close IntelliJ
In a command shell, clone your Github repository.
Using an editor external to IntelliJ such as VI or Notepad, create a pom.xml in the root directory. Better yet, use a Maven Archetype to generate your pom.xml.
Now open IntelliJ. Choose File, New, Project From Existing Sources. Navigate to your pom.xml and follow the prompts.
I recommend checking Search for projects recursively and Import Maven projects automatically.
Finish the project creation.
Now, add dependencies to your pom.xml via the dependencies tag. See Maven Dependencies. Intellij will automatically react to dependencies that you add as long as it can see a Maven Repository on your local machine or on your network or on the Internet.
I know it is a little bit to late but I just post it because it is still an possible issue: You need to open YourProjectName.iml and make sure that the type (<module type="JAVA_MODULE" version="4">) is JAVA_MODULE and not something else!(In my case it was WEB_MODULE)
What is the best Maven2 plugin for IntelliJ? There are a lot of them now, and I don't have the time to play with them all. It would be very helpful to get opinions and a feature synopsis on existing plugins.
Here is what I am looking for: a) it keeps my paths and repositories synched to change in the pom file; and b) it doesn't keep hiding the target folder.
Also, I've found that an increasing number of archetypes are not parsable with my current setup. Is there a plugin that provides better compatability?
Just the default maven plugin available in the basic intelliJ installation.

Does anyone know of a GWT plugin for SBT? I can't seem to find one anywhere.
If there isn't one, does anyone know how to use maven plugins from SBT for some tasks? I know this is possible, but can't figure out how. Can I just fit in the maven GWT plugin and use it?
One exists here:
https://github.com/thunderklaus/sbt-gwt-plugin
and my fork of it which adds the ability to run your project in the devmode shell:

I want to start using maven in code I distribute but I can't find an efficient way to work with dependencies. Every new dependency takes me far too long to add.
As a simple example, I need to add Tomcat for compilation. Do I really have to manually trawl the repo in my browser to find the group-id, artifact-id and version number?
In every case it seems easier to find the non-maven downloads. I hope I've missed something obvious.

No. Use a repository search engine. Some are mentioned here, more here. Some IDE also offer facilities to search and add dependencies (e.g. Eclipse with m2eclipse).
First of all, using some IDE really helps. Eclipse has m2eclipse plugin and if you define locations of remote maven repositories in your pom definition, you can add dependencies in its pom editor and it will automatically search the proper artifacts for you.
What is really helpful is using repository manager like Nexus / Artifactory, where you gather the most important maven repositories and then you don't need to declare particular repository locations in your pom definition for various artifacts, but everything will be proxied via Nexus.
I have a maven pom file which depends on this plugin, but I can't find it anywhere online. Is this something which needs to be built from some other piece of code?
I searched in Sonatype repository and svn but I also didn't find jar nor sources. Customizable build lifecycle mappings is a experimental feature in m2eclipse. So if you don't need this feature you can comment this plugin.
Edit
After some tests I've noticed that if you use Maven 3.0 Embedded runtime your pom will work without complain, but there is still no jar for this plugin in the repository. So there is some kind of magic or I need to read more about Maven3/Embedded :)
