| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Import Maven projects automatically | Select this check box, if you want IntelliJ IDEA to perform reimport automatically each time you change your pom.xml. |
| Create IntelliJ IDEA modules for aggregator projects (with 'pom' packaging) | If this check box is selected, IntelliJ IDEA Maven Modules will be created for each module included in the pom.xml file of an aggregative project, provided that its packaging is set to 'pom'. |
| Create module groups for multi-module Maven projects | If this check box is selected, IntelliJ IDEA will create a module group from an aggregative Maven project, with the nested modules included in this group. |
| Keep source and test folders on reimport | If this check box is selected, all the source and test folders will be preserved on every import. If this check box is cleared, all previously configured source and test folders will be removed on every import. By default, this check box is set as follows:
|
| Use Maven output directories | If the option is not checked, the build will be created in the regular IntelliJ IDEA's
output directory USER_HOME\IdeaProjects\<project>\classes\Production\.
If the option is checked, the build is generated in the Maven's output directory, and the results of IntelliJ IDEA's compilation are reused. However, IntelliJ IDEA itself does not reuse Maven build results, and performs compilation from scratch. |
| Phase to be used for folders update | Select Maven phase to be used for folders update. This might be useful, if you adjust your plugins so that additional sources are loaded at some phase. |
| Automatically download | Select the corresponding check boxes to automatically download sources (Sources) and documentation comments (Documentation) on opening Maven projects. |
| 10.5+ Generate Flex compiler configuration files when importing Flexmojos projects |
If this option is selected, when importing Flexmojos projects, the Flex compiler configuration files are generated automatically.
The automatic generation of the configuration files is a rather time-consuming process, especially for large projects. Besides, for the reasons independent of IntelliJ IDEA, the automatic generation of the configuration files may sometimes be impossible or may lead to erroneous results. In all such cases, you may want to turn this option off and generate the Flex compiler configuration files from the command line using this command: mvn compile -DconfigurationReport=true |
