The IntelliJ IDEA Maven-2 plugin integrates Maven-2 into IntelliJ IDEA. Similar to the Ant plugin, the Maven-2 plugin allows execution of goals (or phases) and redirects output (with error highlighting) to the message window.
This plugin has now moved to the Mevenide Project at http://mevenide.codehaus.org/m2-site/mevenide2-idea and will not be updated anymore.
Running under IDEA 5.0 is no longer supported. So the plugin will not work with IDEA versions prior to 6.0!

In order to use or build the plugin you must have installed Maven-2 and a Java executable must be in your PATH variable.
In case you have defined the environment variable M2_HOME you can start immediately using the plugin without any further configuration. Otherwise you must specify the home directory of your Maven-2 installation in the configuration dialogs.
Available for IDEA 6.0 through IDEA's built-in plugin manager, directly from IDEA's plugin page or from the download page hosted on this site..
In case you downloaded the plugin, simply extract the content of the binary archive into your IDEA plugin directory. The extracted folder (idea-maven-plugin) contains another folder "lib", where all the JARs reside.
If you have added your Maven-2 bin directory to your PATH variable you don't have to do anything. Otherwise you must tell the plugin, where the Maven-2 executable is located on your filesystem. This can either be done via the application wide Maven-2 settings dialog or via the project related Maven-2 settings.
The project settings always override the application settings!
The plugin will not work with IDEA versions prior to 6.0!
The plugin was tested under Windows and Linux.
It was not tested under Mac OS X.
Retrotranslator was used to translate the JDK5 binaries into JDK1.4 ones.
