Actually I just gave Eclipse Kepler (SR2) a try today and the maven integration is a
nightmare…
When you import your pom.xml as a project (I imported only commons pom.xml) you get lots
of errors about unknown lifecycle mappings (I remember remote resources plugin, osgi
bundle plugin, enforcer plugin) and you don’t know what to do.
Then after all poms were imported the project was full of redcrosses (ie errors). I looked
quickly and couldn’t find the problem so I stopped and remove Eclipse Kepler from my
machine.
I know if can be fixed and works fine thereafter (the proof is that several xwiki
committers are using it every day! :)). But this is far from easy when you install it the
first time and if you don’t take the time to google or ask others how they’ve done it!
Thanks

PS: I don’t want to start an IDE war here, just reporting my experience of today :)

Hi Denis,
Just a side note, to be honest, I don't know which version of Eclipse you
tried, but I must say they evolved correctly.
With recent versions (indigo), it is much easier to import your maven
project into eclipse projects and the sync works quite well. Hi,

Hi devs,
Our intellij IDEA ultimate license has expired. Jetbrains is ok to renew
it but they wish that the xwiki project gives something more in return:
they mentioned some blog post for example.
So first, who’s using IDEA and would like to continue using the Ultimate
version (vs the community one which is free)?
I’m using IDEA Ultimate and I’m very happy with it. The community edition
looks good but is missing some features like HMTL/CSS/JS support. I don’t
know if I would miss those features though if I were to use the community
edition. I guess I should try it… Will do now!
I am using it as well, and I am really happy with it. It is far more easy
to setup than Eclipse, and it provides very nice features. The
auto-completions and other smart inspections of code are really nice
(without any performance issues), the refactoring feature is great, but
from the advantage of the Ultimate edition, apart from what you already
mention, I will miss the Coverage feature to improve my unit tests.
I do not really envision the idea of going back to Eclipse or Netbeans, I
still remember the nightmare it was. The git/hg
integration is pretty nice too.
But I agree that IDEAJ has always been my favorite IDE (I really liked the
inspections and the simpleUml plugin), I moved to Eclipse only for economic
reasons - and I miss too much features in IDEAJ community edition :)
Agree with Vincent that with Maven, developers are completely independent
of IDEs - and it's a very good thing.
