Question

While using IDEA community edition, local maven custom properties are shown as errors in my pom.xml…

e.g.

<!-- bar/pom.xml -->

<properties>
    <foo.version>1.0.0</foo.version>
    ...
</properties>
...
...
<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>blah.bar</groupId>
            <artifactId>foo-core</artifactId>
            <version>${foo.version}</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

${foo.version} is show in red as an error “Dependency… ${foo.version} not found…”

it appears that IDEA is not resolving the property…

nb: foo-core-1.0.0 (pom/jar) is available in my local repo

any ideas?

This seems to be a commonly reported issue: http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/issues/IDEA?q=maven+properties+red

I also have the same issue with RC 2
