  • marks artifacts which have a newer version available
  • provides a fix to bump the version
  • supports maven properties
    update-properties
  • ignores non-numerical versions discovered ComparableVersion :)
    update-deps
    • only suggests qualifiers like -SNAPSHOT if the used version is also using a qualifier
    • ignores some non-standard version formats. Like timestamps, since they are rarely used anymore.
    • can be restricted to not suggest major version upgrades
      artifact-upgrade-options

I wasn't sure whether or not to enable this by default but I decided to enable it mostly because:

  • many new-project-poms are outdated, this mitigates the issue a little bit (this is also the original motivation for the hint)
  • poms don't have a lot of hints right now, so adding a little bit of noise probably doesn't hurt atm
  • users can turn it off / we can turn it off based on feedback later

Performance seems good. It checks large poms in about a second. Maven hints are not cancellable unfortunately.

Implementation looks sane. Two thoughts:

  1. (Out of scope for this changeset): Maven hints are missing "Show as warning on current line". With more hints the noise goes up and the hepfulness goes down. This is a candiate for to much noise. @work this would flag nearly all dependencies and thus I would deactivate it.
  2. Would it make sense to provide an update to latest and "latest in same major version"? I associate bumping major version with incompatible change or at least "no stability guarentee".

yeah would be nice to have feature parity with the java hints where it makes sense. There is also currently no way to run maven hints as inspections although this is probably only rarely needed. Projects can define project specific hints but this is also only possible for java hints I believe (I don't see anything else in the combo box).

2. Would it make sense to provide an update to latest and "latest in same major version"? I associate bumping major version with incompatible change or at least "no stability guarentee".

Done. I added it as option in the hint settings. I actually thought about adding this too but dismissed it since I initially wanted to keep this really simple (since there are maven plugins and dependabot for this). But I believe a simple "don't suggest major version upgrades" probably covers 95% of all typical cases, so why not.

The initial motivation for this was because many project pom templates are outdated, this gives the user a quick upgrade path even on first use once the IDE downloaded the maven index. The release version hint (and other IDE features too) require certain compiler plugin versions. This hint can basically unlock other hints by bumping this version.

Looks sane to me.

awesome, squashed PR to:

  • first commit will be the maven option panel polling bugfix
  • second commit is the feature

this should hopefully reduce risks and allow to test things independently if something happens. (I try to avoid fixing bugs in feature commits)

@mbien
fixes several maven HintsPanel bugs.
c6ec236 
for option customizers:

 - this fixes various issues with cancel behavior caused
   by hints logic not polling the saved values on second open
   of the options panel
 - fixes apply button activation when options change

for the main panel hint activation/deactivation logic:

 - fixes a bug when it was not possible to enable a hint again
   when previously disabled in the same session without a NB restart
 - this was caused by the fact that the interal saved value storage
   of the Configuration object was never reset before reuse

@matthiasblaesing sorry for changing the PR after approval. I fixed #5165 too. See first commit.
