Why am I unable to create a new Java project in Intellij using both the Maven Plugin and the Google App Engine Plugin?

Question

Would somebody be able to explain why I am unable to create a new Java project in Intellij using both the Maven Plugin and the Google App Engine Plugin? I had previously created a Google App Engine project in Intellij and it was very easy to build and deploy my app using the App Engine plugin. Now I'm building my second app, and I would like to incorporate Maven as well but they seem to be mutually exclusive. I have seen that there are Maven archetypes for Google App Engine, but I am unsure of how to import those archetypes, or what their purpose is.

Thank you konqi. I ended up using a very similar strategy to what you suggested. I used the first 9 steps from this Google App Engine Tutorial to build a maven project from an appengine archetype in terminal. Then I opened intellij and imported the project (using all default values) and intellij automatically detected the appengine dependency.
