You mention maven is rather slow... It's taking me an average of 6
seconds for a command line 'mvn clean install' to build all 4 pom's.
I've got a MacBookPro (2013 model), 2.8 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7,
16GB Ram and SSD. I'm using Java 11.0.8 and Maven 3.6.3.
This is all interesting. It's such a small application we are talking about... I remember the times with Delphi. 6 seconds to run under the
debugger was a long time then with a Pentium III processor! Software development has got worse with time... 8-(((
I am using NetBeans 12 LTS, and I can believe that IntelliJ is faster. But the difference you report is too big. My laptop is not that fast,
and I am not seeing such long times (at least from the second compile-run attempt onwards). But with Maven projects, it is slower than with
the old NetBeans Ant-based projects.

Switching IDEs, or even using 2 of them at the same time, is a pain. If somebody can figure out a trick to avoid the second Maven invocation
in order to build and run the project under the debugger, I would rather stick to NetBeans, at least for now. I have already converted the
projects to Maven, which is one step away from NetBeans, but I would rather not rush it now, I haven't got that much time nowadays.
Besides, IntelliJ is "half" commercial. If I stop using Matisse and start doing the UI by hand, I may as well switch to JavaFX (by hand
too), ditch Java IDEs altogether and use Emacs, which is already my main editor for writing C++. Who knows if IntelliJ will last. It's not
like I need a high-productivity Java IDE for a small open-source project that needs little maintenance.
