Description

As you can see, it is super fun and super fancy to jump to a dependency within your maven pom file. This feature is implemented in IntelliJ, I figured that out, when a colleague said to me: Please jump the dependent pom to check whether we have to override the version or not and I didn't know how.

Yes NetBeans has this effective view but, it is not that productive for me.

 

Example for IntelliJ:

• Colleague opens pom
• went to the specific warning like for overriding the version or only to see the pom of the dependency
• Ctrl + click and it jumps to that pom

 

Example for NetBeans

• In the normal pom view it is not possible to do that
• I have to switch to the effective view
• I have to search for the dependency, with ctrl + f because the effective view is muuuuch longer than the normal view
• I have to double click on the right line

So as you can see, the way of intelliJ makes it more productive. I think this enhancement will save a lot of time and is possible, because NetBeans should know all paths to the dependencies.

 

In IntelliJ, you can't only ctrl + click the name, you can ctrl + click the version and smth more.

 

Cheers
