Ok, after disabling/reenambling plugins and all the usual IDE troubleshooting BS tasks. I reallized the problem was with parsing my maven pom.xml file. Still not sure what caused it, but openining the IDEA specific .ipr file fixed the issue and the maven project opened correctly.

Scratches head but grateful

I love the fact that in the past 2 years, Netbeans have been the “most improved IDE” in the dwindling Java IDE market. Having said that, it’s also a minor annoyance to keep downlaoding the next stable release constantly. It seems like there is a new “release” every 10 days. I barely had a chance to take the wrapper off of 6.5 and now I see 6.5.1 is available. Jeeze. I’ll give them credit for having the sexiest splash startup though.

Famous last words I posted on twitter today, “been (surprisingly?) productive today. I’m going to finish ahead of schedule ” No sooner did I say that when Jetbrain’s IDEA started to flake on me (see above). At first I thought it was a disk issue (logs pointed to the vfs) , so I wasted an hour or 2 going down that path. Disk is fine OSX disc permissions are fine…etc. I’m looking at other possibilities but I do know that I don’t have to stop development since this a maven project that lives in our subversion repositoriy. This is the point where all the whining and  b**tching about doing things The Maven Way is silenced in favor of the pure joy of using a “standard” project structure . Both IDEA (as of 8.x)  and NetBeans can open Maven Projects as IDE projects with all the classpath info intact. So as I wait for the Netbeans 6.5.1 to download I know that I should be ok to pick up where I left off. If this had been in some IDE specific  project structure, this would have been a real pain in my@$$.

Peace,

Attended DevNexus 2009 in Atlanta last tuesday and wednesday and it was great. Neal Ford lit the place up in his keynote and his TDD session. Definitely one of the best bang for your buck in terms of software conferences. Most of which have not figured out there is a recession going on. At 185.00 , even a street programmer like me could attend. The Atlanta Java Users Group did a great job in setting this up.
