I deleted all log4j artifacts in my .m2 directory and I'm no longer getting the "circular dependency" that Volkan reported.
I checked the box for "Delegate IDE build/run actions to Maven" like Matt recommended and was able to build which went as far as maven on the command line does. Now I'm trying to run a unit test by clicking the arrow next to the test and saying run. However, IntelliJ starts a maven build and runs all the tests for log4j-core (which contains the test I am trying to run). Ideas?
