Maven2 dependency plugin
I am looking to start using maven2 to manage library dependencies. There are several out there. Is one of them any better than the others? Can I use one that is for dependencies or do I need a full bore maven2 plugin. Once I have my pom.xml, what do I need to do.

the one I use and find cool is MavenReloaded.
After installing it, You just have to right click on a pom file in IDEA and select maven>enable, and it will create module libraries for your module based on the declared dependencies in the file.
I added the plugin. It didn't do anything at first. I checked the menu for the plugin and it was not enabled (why not?). I enabled it and nothing happened. I closed IntelliJ and opened and it started processing the POM. Hopefully it works the way I want.

may not be what you are looking for, but you can read more about it here:

The current version is 2.0, but 2.1 is coming out in the next couple of
weeks.
