Maven idea:idea fails

[aefox <al...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I did a clean clone of camel locally and tried running "mvn idea:idea" as
suggested here: http://camel.apache.org/building.html.

The problem is that the action fails with the following error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-idea-plugin:2.2.1:idea (default-cli) on
project camel-parent: Execution default-cli of goal
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-idea-plugin:2.2.1:idea failed.
NullPointerException -> [Help 1]

I looked at maven-idea-plugin and the project is retired
(http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-idea-plugin/). I think the
building.html page should be updated with this detail (to suggest not to use
mvn idea:idea because it crashes) and instead suggest that when using
IntelliJ IDEA's IDE one should import the root POM.

Thanks,
Fox

@Claus I'm aware that I should not be using maven idea plugin, but instead
load the POM in intellij. That is what I am doing.

The reason I raised this issue was that the
http://camel.apache.org/building.html page suggests using the maven idea
plugin, which is obsolete now. And my suggestion was to update that page
with what you just said.

Also, I didn't think of loading only the POM for the component that I need
to work on. Awesome suggestion +1. Maybe this should be mentioned as well on
the building page?

Thanks,
Fox

Hi

Do not use this old maven idea:idea plugin, but just open the pom.xml
file in IDEA and it has maven support out of the box and loads the
project nicely.

This is how I open any Maven project in IDEA.

Also mind that loading all the Camel source code into IDEA is not a
good idea, there is a lot of code. I usually open the component I need
to work on instead.
