The mevenide team is pleased to announce the MevenIDE for IDEA Integration 0.1 
release! 

http://mevenide.codehaus.org/mevenide-idea/

The MevenIDE for IDEA project aims to integrate Maven into the popular 
IntelliJ IDEA IDE. 

Changes in this version include:

  New Features:

o A graphical Project Object Model (POM) editor. The editor includes a 
  standard text editor, as well as an intuitive user interface for editing 
  the various aspects of a project. 
o Full synchronization between the POM text editor and the graphical POM 
  editor, as well as with POM modifications outside the IntelliJ IDE. 
o Automatic discovery of POM files (project.xml and maven.xml) for each 
  IntelliJ module. The plugin will detect if you create one of these files 
  either from inside the IDE or from outside, and will respond appropriately. 
o A special Maven side pane (also called a Tool Window) displaying the 
  available Maven goals for the project. The pane shows goals defined in the 
  module's maven.xml file, and common goals, marked as "favorites" in the 
  module settings dialog. 
o Execution of selected goal(s) in a dedicated execution console which 
  supports stop, pause, and re-run. The console supports copying the Maven 
  output into the clipboard or into a text file. 
o Compilation errors reported by Maven in the execution console are displayed 
  as links, which open the appropriate source code file at the appropriate 
  location. 
o Auto-detection of your Maven home (via the MAVEN_HOME environment 
  variable), and support for specifying a different Maven home (does not 
  modify the environment variable). 
o Easy installation via the IntelliJ IDEA plugins manager. 
o Support for assigning shortcut keys (hot-keys) for specific goals for a 
  specific module in the IDE (no need to find the goal in the Goals tool 
  window).  

Have fun!
