IntelliJ versus Eclipse?
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.
Fantastic! Thanks for your insightful answer, rg1. There isn't much exchange in the forums, or elsewhere, on IntelliJ and Nuxeo integration, so this is a big help in understanding their relationship.
Thanks again,
Yousuf
Another thing, what IntelliJ release are you running? I'm attempting to use Community '15, but receive the error:
"PluginException: cannot create class "org.nuxeo.intellij.actions.NuxeoShellAction" [Plugin: org.nuxeo.intellij]"
I noticed that this may not be the case for Community '13. Ideas?
Thanks,
Yousuf
