Dependency management using IntelliJ IDEA
Unlike Eclipse and NetBeans, viewing dependencies as graphs is only possible in the IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate version, which is commercial. The Community Edition does not support this option.
How to do it...
Use the following steps in IntelliJ Idea Ultimate version to manage the dependencies:
Open the
demoproject-selendroid
file in the IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate edition.Right-click on the
pom.xml
file.Click on the Show Dependencies... option (See this option in the preceding screenshot) and observe the following screenshot:
How it works...
IntelliJ IDEA has first-class support for Maven projects. It reads the pom.xml
file of the project, parses it, and identifies all the dependencies, including transitive dependencies. It then displays the same in a graphical manner, allowing users to visualize the project.
