Maven project builds fine from maven command line, but not with IntelliJ IDEA 11.1.1

Question

1.From Maven command line, I type mvn idea:module and all dependencies builds fine,and successful import IntelliJ IDEA,all is fine.

2.After i type mvn idea:clean ,clean all build. In IntelliJ IDEA, in the right navigation bar, I click Add Maven Projects , choose pom.xml , then IntelliJ always shows Resolving Maven Dependencies in Background Tasks.

In my project, I use private Nexus repositories.

Very strange why IntelliJ doesn't tell me why to resolve maven dependencies on always!

I want to know why two kinds of ways to import projects have different results.

Answer 1

If you already have pom.xml you can open it from File->Open Project . Maven always works great in Intellij for me, never had to Add Maven Projects before.
