Well what should I say ... you didn't mention any feature that IntelliJ didn't come with. And please don't get me wrong. Eclipse is cool ... but as soon as it comes to large Maven projects (talking about the 100+ artifacts) I haven't come across anything more sluggish than the combination of Eclipse + M2E. One thing I allways really hated was the lack of support of hierarchical artifact/project structures in Eclipse. And if you ever used IntelliJ with it's highly advanced code completion, validity checks, code navigation ... having to use Elcipse feels like putting away your computer and start working with an abacus again ;-) ...
but nevertheless ... still cool you're working on that stuff as there are a lot of people requesting it :-) 2013/1/28 Sylvain Lecoy <sylvain.le...@gmail.com> > Christopher, > > Yes it is true that "Life's too short to use Eclipse" :-) But I am really > a lover of this platform, to be honest.
