In Eclipse there is an opportunity to select a Maven artifact you have a dependency on and download sources or documentation only for it.
Now I am struggling to find that functionality in IDEA. But seems to be it provides only opportunity to download sources for ALL dependencies.
Or I am wrong?
A Jira issue was raised against IDEA to achieve this. However it was closed as a duplicate of this issue. I think they may have misinterpreted the requirement to download particular sources as being the same as downloading all sources (I think the highlighted button downloads all sources?).
This indicates that there isn't a means to download an individual artifact's sources, sorry.

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)
I'm looking for a current MyBatis plugin for IntelliJ Idea 14. I previously used one hosted by Seventh7 but that is no longer listed (and its git is a 404). The main thing I'm looking for is decent linking between my classes that extend SqlSessionDaoSupport (my DAO classes) and their matching xml files (not using annotation driven).
Any suggestions?
As far as I know the latest free version was v2.34 and it was applied to IDEA v141.177 till v141.179 (as described in file plugin.xml inside jar). That's why this plugin is no listed in IDEA. After this author released paid version and closes free access to the repo
But there is a free fork here:
https://github.com/phoenix/intellij-mybatis-plugin (I love github and open source :) )
Short instruction how to install it:
Download intellij-mybatis-plugin.jar from repo above or use direct link
In IDEA: File>Settings>Plugins, press button "Install plugin from disk" and select downloaded jar.
Restart IDEA
Note: For me navigation to and from xml files does not work until I disabled another iBatis plugin
In Intellij, Go to Settings-->Plugin-->Browse repositories
Search for mybatis plugin.
Install it and restart.
there is a plugin named MyBatisCodeHelperPro, you can search it in repositories.
or download via https://github.com/gejun123456/MyBatisCodeHelper-Pro/blob/master/README_EN.md
I'm using IntelliJ IDEA 12, its Play2.0 plugin for a Java project.
Unfortunately Play 2 (2.1.4 at this time) does not ship with the sources for its dependencies, and running idea with-sources=yes only downloads the project's dependencies sources.
So far I've had to manually download the source jars and attach them whenever I needed them.
Of course I have to redo this every time the Play framework is updated.
Is there any better way, either within play, which I would prefer, or with an external solution?
Unfortunately IDEA's "Search in internet..." button usually doesn't work, most likely because it's looking on the wrong respositories. I suspect it is trying to use the Maven settings with the configured Nexus repos, but AFAIK Maven central is not in there.
It is as simple as running update-classifiers in the Play console and then regenerating the project files.
I wish this would be done automatically, but apparently it is too obvious to sbt users.
I want to deliver a single .jar file to my clients, but my project is currently built with Maven, and I have several modules that generate a single .jar each.
I know nesting different .jar files is not a great idea, so I am not sure how can I achieve this.
Any ideas?
If you really want to go this direction, there are several ways to do that:
with the Maven Assembly Plugin and maybe the jar-with-dependencies predefined assembly descriptor (that will unpack dependencies)
with the Maven Shade Plugin (similar to the above one but gives more flexibility)
with the Maven One-Jar Plugin (that uses One-JAR and its custom classloader to allow nesting of JARs)
Depending on your exact requirements and constraints, you might prefer one or the other.
First of all, ask yourself if you have a really good reason for packaging your application and all of its dependencies in to a single jar. I haven't found a very many good reason for this at all (with most reasons being related to organizational policy foolishness or just plain ignorance). The way to go is to keep libraries in their own jars and supplying a .zip/.tar.gz containing all of your libraries and your application with either
An executable .jar with the
classpath setup appropriately in
your MANFIEST.MF file
a .bat/.sh
script that invokes java and builds
an appropriate classpath based on
your deps
Conversely, use JNLP (better known as Java Web Start).
If you really want to have maven bundle all of your dependencies and your application under a single jar, what you want to use is the "jar-with-dependencies" predefined assembly. The maven assembly plugin usage page also shows how you might this up as well.
You can try Maven Shade plugin too.
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-shade-plugin/
General instructions on how to use the Shade Plugin can be found on the usage page. Some more specific use cases are described in the examples given below. Last but not least, users occasionally contribute additional examples, tips or errata to the plugin's wiki page.
In case you still have questions regarding the plugin's usage, please feel free to contact the user mailing list. The posts to the mailing list are archived and could already contain the answer to your question as part of an older thread. Hence, it is also worth browsing/searching the mail archive.
If you feel like the plugin is missing a feature or has a defect, you can fill a feature request or bug report in our issue tracker. When creating a new issue, please provide a comprehensive description of your concern. Especially for fixing bugs it is crucial that the developers can reproduce your problem. For this reason, entire debug logs, POMs or most preferably little demo projects attached to the issue are very much appreciated. Of course, patches are welcome, too. Contributors can check out the project from our source repository and will find supplementary information in the guide to helping with Maven.
Actually, nesting .jar files is not possible. A jar can't have other jars in it.
.war and .ear files can contain jars, and that's a good solution if you're delivering a J2EE application.
If your app is just J2SE, however, I recommend looking at the Maven Assembly plugin. As the name implies, it allows you to create a single binary distribution of your build.
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.
