IntelliJ versus Eclipse?

Yousuf_Nejati

Hi,

I'm a big fan of IntelliJ and any JetBrains development environment, so I'd prefer to use it as my go to IDE. However, I notice that Eclipse is more mature in regards to Nuxeo.

Has anyone here worked with both development environments? Which do you prefer, and why?

Thank you,

Yousuf

I originally used Eclipse to hack Nuxeo code and develop Nuxeo modules. However, I found that the Maven support integrated into Eclipse did not handle Nuxeo's deep, hierarchical maven projects well. I eventually disabled the Eclipse m2eclipse plugin and used the external maven-eclipse-plugin to manage Eclipse classpaths, etc. I did try the Nuxeo Eclipse IDE plugin for a while with mixed results.

Eventually, I switched to Intellij because its integrated Maven support handles Nuxeo's deep, hierarchical maven projects really well. Simply import a project at any level of the maven hierarchy and the IDE just works.
