Sure, but if the Maven features we use, or the way in which we use them,
disenfranchise the users of an important IDE then I think we are doing
our customers a disservice. This is just like many web-based products
which work only on IE; they restrict themselves to that browser user
base. It takes some extra work to support all the versions of all the
popular browsers but many organizations feel it is worth the effort.
I think we should make a conscious decision in this case not to
disenfranchise the Eclipse community.

We shouldn't support anything but Maven itself. Its up to the IDEs to
support Maven then. If IntelliJ does it better then maybe people will favor
it but that's up to the user. I don't think we should favor any IDE by
itself.

I will check that out today and report back.
The larger issue I see is that, by doing all of our maven development in
IntelliJ and not keeping Eclipse working as a viable IDE option, that we
are not doing a good job of supporting our customer base. All the shops
I've worked in for the last ten years have been Eclipse shops. I echo
Benson's concern about the amount of neural energy needed to make the
switch, and forcing that switch in order to do Mahout-based development
will certainly make us less useful in those organizations which, for better
or worse, are Eclipse shops too.
I don't know yet what issues are preventing me from working in Eclipse
Indigo + m2e 1.0 but they are reproducible and I think it is a very high
priority to figure them out and resolve them.

Do the eclipse files that I posted on dropbox do any good for eclipse?

If you can add intellij helpfulness to the mahout tree, please do.

Can't intelliJ export eclipse projects? (it has a menu item with that

Take a look at
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/**36863361/eclipse.tgz<http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36863361/eclipse.tgz>which
is the
result me doing that on a modified mahout directory.
If that shows promise, I can do it on trunk.
