What is the best Maven2 plugin for IntelliJ? There are a lot of them now, and I don't have the time to play with them all. It would be very helpful to get opinions and a feature synopsis on existing plugins.

Here is what I am looking for: a) it keeps my paths and repositories synched to change in the pom file; and b) it doesn't keep hiding the target folder.

Also, I've found that an increasing number of archetypes are not parsable with my current setup. Is there a plugin that provides better compatability?

+2  A: 

Just the default maven plugin available in the basic intelliJ installation.

Thats the one that keeps concealing the /target folder :/

You just have to unhide it. Plus when there are directories int target containing generated sources, these directories are visible. Anyway, you won't find a better maven integration in IntelliJ than the IntelliJ's provided plugin. I you have ideas on how to make it better, the best thing to do is posting on intelliJ's forum or on the youtrack server.
