Hi Anderson, As far as I understood it, the maven folks added a new argument to a method. That broke the IntelliJ tooling. Now there are two paths:
* IntelliJ updates to use that new argument * Maven adds a default for the argument In each path the problem would be fixed. If both are applied the problem would also be fixed. I think there’s not really a problem with going back to rc5 … it should also work with rc6 or any newer version. Chris Von: Anderson Vasconcelos Pires <[email protected]> Datum: Montag, 31.

This is what I am doing now (downgrade to RC-5) and it causes me problems to update my version (revert my changes on pom.xml) But if you downgrade and IntelliJ fix the problem that maybe will be incompatible with RC-5? That is possible for other versions too but I believe RC-6 should be more stable than 5. Anderson.
