title: Maven IDEA plugin (or eclipse plugin)
body: <p>From what I have understood, it is not the best way to open a project built with Maven in Intellij by using the idea plug-in, that is by calling:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mvn idea:idea
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but by open directly the pom file (Intellij has default plug-in for Maven); the same thing, for eclipse.</p>
  
  <p>Could you provide some arguments on why this is a better approach?</p>
