Netbeans project specific settings resetting - maven

I am having a problem with my project specific settings resetting while I am working.
I am trying to configure my project to use the IDE wide formatting configurations, but after a small while the settings for the project are reset to use the default project specific settings.
I assume this is related to automatic build in the background doing something that is removing the project configuration file but I haven't found out anything more related to that.
Other points to note:
The project is huge
The project is maven configured
I am the only one working in netbeans that I am aware of
The Project has a parent maven project which I also have open in the IDE
The Project is in a Git repository which I believe I have set up to ignore Netbeans config files.

Generate mule_export.properties with Maven

I'm trying to set up IntelliJ to deploy Mule project that depends on a domain project, but the result builded by Maven does not have META-INF directory and mule_export.properties in it. However, the same build within AnyPoint Studio does produce these artifacts, which make the deployment successful.
Does anyone know how can I force Maven to create these? Either through Maven plugin or IntelliJ associations, as it seems that associations within IDE are the reason this is being produced by AnyPoint Studio.
I'm not sure why do you need the mule_export.properties. It seems to be only generated by Anypoint Studio when exporting a project. However I don't think it is used at all to deploy an application. Probably you are having a different problem. Usually that happens by differences between Maven dependencies and Studio build path.
What is the exact error you are having at deployment?

Force intellij to regenerate .iml files for a maven project with multiple modules

I'm working with a maven project composed of multiple modules. Currently apart from the parent module, all the other modules don't have a .iml file. This cause problems each time I close and reopen intellij as
I have to reimport (with maven) the whole Project for intellij to work properly again. Otherwise I don't have any code completion, Intellij can't resolve dependancies and so on.
I tried to reimport each submodules as well as reimporting the whole project from scratch but it didn't make Intellij to regenerate the .iml files.
Is there a way to force Intellij to regenerate .iml files ?
I'm working with intellij idea: 2019.2.3 (Ultimate Edition)
Build #IU-192.6817.14, built on September 24, 2019
Intellij Maven import settings
Had the same issue and was not able to find any way for IntelliJ to regenerate the files. It seems to be due to such files being added on .gitignore - seems IntelliJ won't create it then, at least in some use cases.
However, *.iml files are really simple and it it easy enough to copy from some working module and edit it if needed. For my case, just copying and renaming correctly was enough.
Deleting and recreating the workspace would've probably also worked.

Module Not in Gradle View [duplicate]

I've a big problem with Android Studio.
I have a project that depends on two other projects (as libs).
I followed the guide Problems importing project into Android Studio regarding ActionBarSherlock for import external modules.
I opened "Project Structure", imported the module, but after that I can't see it in the Modules area.
The Modules area contains only the root module, seems it is not refreshed (this is strange). So if I try to add the module as a Dependency, Android Studio doesn't find any module!
Then, if I try to re-import the module, it says that the module/project is already registered!!
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't know what....! I have this problem both on Windows and MacOSX.
Thanks in advance,
Federico
Look around in your .idea directory for mentions of the problematic project. I had the same problem and resolved it by deleting the entry from .idea/sbt.xml.
In ij go to menu: View -> Tool Windows-> Gradle
Right click on the problematic module and click Refresh External Project, You should see the module in project explorer.
I had a similar problem with ABS and other library imports. The 'Project Structure' interface just wouldn't show the modules. On trying to import the modules, it would prompt, "The project is already registered". Seems to be an IntelliJ/Android Studio issue. Invalidate Caches option didn't help.
Reimporting the project after some cleanup did work for me.
As a precaution, take a backup of your project and store it safely
Ensure that your project builds via gradle command-line and you have all required dependencies specified in respective build.gradle files. Try building with: gradle clean && gradle build
Close the project in Android Studio (or close Android Studio)
Delete .iml files and .idea folders from all modules and the main project
Start Android Studio and reimport the project (Import project from external model > Gradle)
you should remove the project from respective gradle/sbt/maven/ant tab (used to be on right vertical line of Android Studio/Intellij IDEA)
See this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/30442195/907576
My issue was fixed when I restart IDEA.

Mavenizing Mule project from gradle

I am trying to move my Mule ESB project from gradle to maven due to test case issues. I understand I need to remove the .gradle file from the project and when I click on mavenize , nothing happens in Anypoint studio. Any suggestions ?
To mavenize your project you may use Eclipse because this IDE is best suitable with Maven. You'll need to download eclipse, and then add mule support in it. Follow this tutorial to do the same. After that import your project in eclipse and mavenize it. You make take help from this example by David Dossot, to configure a mule project with maven.
If you have AnyPoint Studio, you can create a Mule application and it will already be set up for use with Maven. I would then bring my application artifacts into the newly created project. This way you start with a fresh project that's set up correctly for Maven. Also, you will learn more about things by bring in your mule config, app properties, deploy properties, java classes, and tests into a correctly formatted project structure. You will leave any Gradle artifacts behind. I don't know what button you are clicking called "Mavenize" but Anypoint Studio will allow you to create a shell project that works with Maven. Just create a Mule Application project and copy/paste in the pieces from your existing application. Don't use Eclipse to set up a Maven Mule application project. That's backing up and not utilizing what's available to you.

m2e will not run on server [duplicate]

I'm trying out the next version of Eclipse using the latest milestone build and I'm having an issue getting my Maven project deployed to Tomcat.
Previously in Eclipse 3.6, my project was automatically enabled as a web project when checked out from SVN. I've checked out my project in 3.7 but get nothing indicating it's runnable as a web project (e.g. trying to run the project doesn't give me the usual "Run on Server" option).
What I've installed is Indigo RC4 "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers" version. I then added the latest M2E milestone from here. This enabled me to get up and running, check out my project and I seem to be able to build the project fine (which does create my .war file for remote deployment). Still no "Run On Server" options though.
Does anyone have any clues on what I could be missing? I'm guessing it's a Maven & WTP integration plugin but I haven't spotted the right one yet.
Before m2e became an eclipse project the WTP integration shipped with the core module. Now the core module is an eclipse module and the WTP integration is shipped separately. The current Indigo snapshots of m2eclipse-wtp can be found here. I was unable to get any artifacts from this update site however, even though it's listed in the corresponding JIRA issue.
Fortunately, today m2e-wtp was made available through the m2e Marketplace. Just open the eclipse preferences, go to 'Maven' -> 'Discovery' -> 'Open Catalog' and install it. .
It will work with the lastet version, it's just the .project that is not right.
Simply go into the project properties, make the projet faceted.. tick Dynamic Web Module and you'll get run on server as an option after that.
This will enable the "Run on Server" option, however your problems don't finish there as when you then run it, you'll get a 404.
To fix this, go back into project properties, Deployment assembly.
Delete the WebContent entry (and you can delete the folder in the project later too), and make sure you have the src-main-webapp & src-main-resource folders added.
Bingo.. run the app and it should be fine.
