Dependency and Dependency viewer tab in intelliJ I

Question

Using STS when clicking on a pom.xml file I can view these tabs

Overview
Dependencies
Dependcy Hierarchy
Effective POM
pom.xml

How can I see all these tabs using intelliJ IDEA, specially Dependency Hierarchy? I tried to see it by right click pom.xml > Maven > Show Dependencies but it only show a single rectangle having my project name in it...

Answer 1

To view effective pom you can right click your pom.xml > Maven > Show effective POM

Answer 2

The easiest way I have found to get the effective POM in IntelliJ is to add a maven run configuration with the following command:

help:effective-pom -Doutput=effective-pom.xml

This will create a file in your project folder called effective-pom.xml. If you need to update it, just run the configuration again.

Answer 3

I had the same problem so I checked my settings.xml's maven file and I realised I didn't have a "clean" settings.xml file because I have a custom mirror URL in place. The only way to fix this issue was to include this other answer repositories and plugins in my settings.xml instead of the pom.xml; then, when I went to IntelliJ it started to load all dependencies. Once the previous process finished, I could see the Effective Pom file (by following @Ipandzic answer)
