19.3. Using the Component Info View

The IQ for IDEA tool window can be accessed by clicking the Nexus IQ tab on the bottom tool strip of IDEA. If not accessible from there, it should also be available in View under Tool Windows. Once configured and the component analysis is completed a component view will look similar to the example displayed in Figure 19.3, “Example Component Info View”. The list of components will reflect an analysis of the project’s libraries.

[Note]

By default, all project libraries are included in the list. Filters can be applied to adjust which libraries are included by scope: Compile, Test, Runtime, and Provided.

Right clicking on any component will bring up a menu of actions. Maven projects should allow for the following: View Details, Find Usages, and Open Maven POM.

  • View Details will open the details screen providing more context to the component.
  • Find Usages will bring up a list of every module the component is used in. Clicking on a module will bring up the location in the Maven POM where the component is declared.
  • Open Maven POM will open the Maven POM of the component selected.
