the problem with Ctrl-click on a large block of xml like dependencies is what should be underlined when invoking the link. another problem is the difference between source and repository poms. Sourcebase pom files are more useful to be navigated to than repository only pom files. partly implemented in a slightly different way for parent poms, when cursor is inside <parent> section in 7.3, a green I icon appears in the sidebar and is clickable leading to parent pom. I was not capable of associating the same keyboard shortcut to it as the similar java operation has. I don't think you have to have everything feature complete at once. But from my developer point of view. I want to .) navigate to the dependency with in my currently open project first when clicking on an artifactId .) if it is not in the project tree - open the pom from the local repository .) and so on. I did not under stand the part with the 'what should be underlined when invoking the link.'? I'd guess that you always should underline the artifactId, when holding CTRL. If the pom cannot be resolved, maybe some info message would help - 'Cannot find log4j-over-sl4j.1.2.3.pom' FYI: something similar is already implemented for the parent-section of pom.xml. You can navigate to the parent.xml by CTRL-click (In reply to comment #4) > FYI: something similar is already implemented for the parent-section of > pom.xml. You can navigate to the parent.xml by CTRL-click There's one drawback of the current solution and that's the missing shortcut. I've tried to come up with something that would be bound to Go to Declaration, but after some experiments I gave up. There's either a shortcut or visual representation (like we have now for parent) Unfortunately the usual Hyperlink UI is not very usable here. we need a visual marker that appears either all the time or when the given section is charged (selected or caret positioned). And with the current annotation + hyperlink api it's unachievable. So unlikely for 7.4 unless we reach a sudden breakthrough.. This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

When within a pom it would help SOOO much if i could navigate from pom to pom file by clicking on a dependency. So having <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId> <artifactId>log4j-over-slf4j</artifactId> <version>${slf4j.version}</version> </dependency> </dependencies> in my current pom and i CTRL-click on 'log4j-over-slf4j' that would bring me to the pom file of that version of the current 'Effektiv pom'. This feature should also resolve 'properties' as seen above. <dependencyManagement> <dependency> <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId> <artifactId>log4j-over-slf4j</artifactId> <version>${slf4j.version}</version> </dependency> </dependencyManagement> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId> <artifactId>log4j-over-slf4j</artifactId> </dependency> </dependencies> If there is dependencyManagement section it would make sense if i CTRL-clicked on 'log4j-over-slf4j' under <dependencies> i would firest be navigated to <dependencyManagement> and if I CTRL-clicked there on 'log4j-over-slf4j' I'd be navigated to the pom file of 'log4j-over-slf4j' Furthermore if I CTRL-clicked on a dependency in the <parent> section I'd also like to be navigated to the pom file :) Further enhancements: There could be hints on each dependency. And if I click those I could be navigated to the definition. The hints could even popup where I could choose if I wanted to be navigated to the dependencyManagement or the original definition Regards Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.3 RC2 (Build 201302050851) Operating System = Linux version 3.5.0-24-generic running on amd64 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_13 Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 23.7-b01
