I finally decided to look at Maven, and I'm wondering how what the
actual workflow is when I use an IDE such as Idea.
I used to use Eclipse, and I remember at one point there was a plugin
that kept an Eclipse project (.project file) continuously in sync
with the POM file. So if you use the Eclipse UI to add another source
path or an external JAR, the POM gets updated automatically.
With Idea, it looks like you can only take an existing POM and
generate an Idea project file, and it seems like a oneway trip. Any
modifications that you make to the project using Idea's UI will only
live in the Idea project and will get wiped the next time you
generate the project from the POM. Is this the case?
Further, Idea has a refactoring that will move code between different
Idea modules. If each Idea module corresponds to a Maven repository,
is there any hope of having this refactoring work on the POMs, too?
Thanks,
Willis Morse
