A quick introduction to the Maven view inside IntelliJ IDEA, and how I use it when I want to understand what Maven is doing!

If you find Maven a bit confusing (I know I do) then you might find the Maven view in IntelliJ really useful. It helps you understand the different lifecycle phases (clean, test, install, and so on), your plugins and dependencies. After a week when I was using this feature *a lot*, I thought I'd create this short video in case you don't know about this feature.
