we need to bind our project with our favourite IDE to develop it easily .This is quite easy work with maven.you have to build some maven plugin which relates to your IDE .Go to your source checkout path and try with following command.(pom.xml should be available in your path)
for Eclipse IDE
path$ mvn eclipse:eclipse
for Intelij IDEA
path$ mvn idea:idea
Netbeans IDE
you need to install netbean-mvn plugin this can be done using IDE plugin manager,so no need to type commands
Good Luck!
