I know I must be asking something obvious, but I'm new to IDEA and simply can't find it myself.
How do I get my Maven 2 project to look like this in IDEA*:
Although I can get my project to run, there are many things I can't do (like debug Maven goals). My project looks like this:
*Image taken from question #3784781
File | Open Project, specify pom.xml path, in IDEA Maven Projects panel you'll see the goals.

I am using intelliJ IDEA 2017.2.5 for spark-scala using SBT.
i have many dependencies jars but i wanted to know that which jar is getting downloaded or coming along BECOZ of which jar.
For example i have specified Jar_1 in my build.sbt file. Now when the project is built using SBT, along with Jar_1, multiple jars like jar_1.1, jar_1.2, jar_1.3 also gets downloaded. Now when i click on jar_1.3 or jar_1.2 i don't see the directory or any tree like structure which shows that its a child of Jar_1.
This feature is present in Eclipse. Attaching the image which shows this kind of Hierarchy.
As you can see the jars and also it shows that because of which jars it was downloaded. I need to know that whether such thing is available in IntelliJ if yes how to use it
It's not possible in IntelliJ IDEA for the SBT based projects at the moment, please vote for this feature request.
I am trying IntelliJ 12 and one thing is really disappointing.... this is the maven integration.
I am missing following functionality:
effective pom view
search for particular jar trough dependency hierarchy
classpath should be derived directly from maven pom, and not in some crazy random unknown way. I have the case now, where some dependencies are just omitted, and I can see them when executing mvn dependency:analyze
changes is pom.xml are sometimes not reflected in project (classpath does not change, or has still old dependency and new one), also when I click "reimport"
Does anyone know some other maven plugin? Something like m2e would be really nice ;)
As #tieTYT noticed, there is a 'Dependency popup' (Ctrl+Alt+U, Ctrl+F works there).
Idea can automatically detect changes made to your pom.xml and apply them to project. To enable this, press Ctrl+Shift+A, type 'maven auto', choose "Importing", checkbox "Import Maven project automatically";
See https://stackoverflow.com/a/19582120/417846 for my answer. It at least provides a relatively easy way to get the effective pom.
I just moved from eclipse and my idea was, that there are many different plugins for single technology, well not in this case - case closed.
I didn't see a clear answer from the same question
How can I figure out where Maven got an artifact from?
I have a jar slf4j-log4j that is sneaking into our project via some other artifact. In eclipse, I click on dependency hierarchy and see the jar there, I click on it and choose exclude from project which doesn't do anything....I try to right click and see if I can see it's parent that brought it into the project....nope.
How to see the graph of all parents from the artifact that was brought in?
This is all because maven doesn't seem to have global excludes like ivy does :( :( :( so I need to exclude this jar on that project that brought it in(and we have too many projects too look at each and every one).
thanks,
Dean
On the command line, do:
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=the.groupId
See: dependency:tree mojo
And:
I click on it and choose exclude from project which doesn't do
anything....
Are you using a current version of Eclipse with m2e? Because previous versions with m2eclipse could never do that, but m2e can.
I know there are various known issues with the M2eclipse plugin and I guess this is just one of them. Hopefully someone is aware of a solution or workaround.
We have like 30 projects in our workspace but for clarity lets assume there are only 2: A en B.
B includes A as a dependency in the pom.xml of B.
The problem we have is that in eclipse the classes of A can't be found so you get compilation errors. However, if you 'mvn install' A to deploy it in the local repository and the close project A then everything is fine; no compilation errors. So, if A exists in the project M2Eclipse does not seem to be able to correctly set the classpath in eclipse.
To make things stranger, we also have project C that also depends (in exactly the same way as B) on project A but here we have no compilation errors. We can't identify anything meaningful difference between project B or C; as said, they include A in the same manner.
thanks for your help,
Stijn
P.S. I'm using version 0.10.2.20100623 of the plugin
I've experienced this behavior before, and it has occurred for me in the past when I imported or checked out the maven projects separately.
Prerequisite: make sure you have m2extras installed before you check out a multi-module Maven project: update site
First thing to try: right-click each project and choose Maven -> update project configuration. The plugin might be smart enough to detect that it could be building project references between the projects.
Second thing to try (if your 30 projects are all submodules off one root): this would be easiest, because you could use the SCM integration of m2eclipse to do a "Checkout as Maven Project..." on the root pom. M2eclipse would make a project for the superpom and for each submodule, with project references built appropriately.
Third thing to try: I'd try manually creating project references in the project settings of each project to mirror their interdependencies. It'd be a lot of work, and unless you check in your eclipse .project/.settings (eww), it would have to be done individually for each working copy.
RESOLVED
finally, after agonizing hours I found the cause.
I was focussing on the .classpath and the .settings files but the problem was located in the .project file. This file in project A was missing following entry in the tag natures:
<nature>org.eclipse.wst.common.modulecore.ModuleCoreNature</nature>
Adding this resolved the issues.
I need to know the complete filename of a specific artifact in Maven. I looked at versions-maven-plugin but it seems to change the pom itself. Is there another way to reach my goal? I want to store the complete artifact name in a property so I can pick it up in Java code.
Normally you have your dependencies and let maven do all the work of retrieving the files from the repository for you.
But you want to use it in your Java code - what Java code?
Are you writing your own mojo that will be doing something during the install phase of your lifecycle?
Then you should be able to access the artifacts that are currently being processed, from there it's not a problem to get the filename.
But maybe you've got just the groupId, artifactId, version and type of an already existing artifact.
With these informations it should be no problem to navigate to your local maven repository, open the directory: groupId/artifactId/version and look what files you've got there. Usually there should be your .pom a .jar, maybe a md5-hashsum and some maven-metadata. If you're not sure which file's the interesting one: take that one with the biggest filesize.
