Unable to load intellij module when using mvn idea:idea

Question

I am using: IntelliJ IDEA 11.1.3 (Community edition) and Maven 3.0.4.

The project contains several modules, one of them creates a war-file. When I use \"mvn idea:ide

Answer 1

mvn idea:idea is obsolete and should not be used, it's known to cause problems. Just open pom.xml directly from IDEA and it will import the Maven project.

To import with more options create a new project from the external Maven model.
