command line maven generated pom.xml not recogonized in IDEA
I am using maven 2.1.0 installed from apache download site.
I've set my IDEA to use that as well for a project.
when I used command line to generate a project using spring osgi archetype, everything goes well.
When I add the generated source tree as a maven module to IDEA all is fine as well. But when I go to maven Maven Projects pane to add the pom.xml, it is not selectable. i.e. I can select the pom.xml but the "OK" button is dimmed so can't do anything.
Why is that ?
help.

Hi, John,
What IDEA version do you use?
Does Maven Projects tool windows contain any project?
Thanks,

I am on 8.1 (latest),
some more symptoms....
When I import the newly generated source as a "maven" module, I can not add its pom.xml. However IDEA asks to if I want to remove another maven modules pom.xml. If I say yes, it removes it and is replaced by the new pom.xml.
If I don't remove it, I can not add the new pom.xml to the maven projects tab. When this scenario occurs, I restart the IDEA and then I can go to Maven Projects tab and add the new pom.xml.
Some how multiple command line generated maven projects don't play well in the IDEA untill I restart IDEA.

Hi, John,
To workaround the problem in IDEA 8.1 try adding new Maven projects using Add Maven Project button on the Maven Projects tool window.
Thanks,
