I can't import successfully the QuickFIX/J project into any of my IDEs, I've tried with Eclipse, VS Code and IntelliJ.
Following the QuickFIX/J project instructions, first I build the project with:
$ mvn clean package -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true -DskipTests -PskipBundlePlugin
Everything goes well in the build:

Then I try to import it into the IDEs and something goes wrong with the quickfixj-codegenerator.
I've tried some things that I've found on the internet, but nothing solve my problem.
I'll be very happy if someone could help me :)

At https://www.quickfixj.org/usermanual/2.1.0/installation.html#dependencies I've found:
IDE support: There are Eclipse and Netbeans project definition files in the top-level directory of the checked out directory. When the project is first created, it will not have the generated message classes and compile errors will occur! Best is to compile once on the command line before importing the project into the IDE.
I've searched the project documentation and I didn't find nothing about this issue.
Version: 2020-12 (4.18.0)
Reports the following error when I import the project:
No marketplace entries found to handle maven-plugin-plugin:3.2:descriptor in Eclipse. Please see Help for more information.
No marketplace entries found to handle Execution default-descriptor, in /quickfixj-codegenerator/pom.xml in Eclipse. Please see Help for more information
After importing, the /quickfixj-codegenerator/pom.xml says that:
Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-plugin-plugin:3.2:descriptor (execution: default-descriptor, phase: process-classes)
Version 1.52.1
Error:

Error:

The same issue was reported on the email of support discussion of Quickfixj:
On the email thread, I didn't find the answer to this problem.
The problem was reported on 2019, March. The only difference for me is that the Quick/FIXJ is now in a newer version.
Quoting the same problem of the email:
I'm trying to create a development environment for quickfixj on eclipse. I cloned the repository, downloaded the sources, and ran the command:
mvn clean package -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true -DskipTests -PskipBundlePlugin
just as suggested on the website. This part worked without any errors.
Afterwards, I try to import the projects in eclipse. The projects are identified as maven projects and added to the workspace, but when compiling, after the import, it shows the error: Could not find artifact org.quickfixj:quickfixj-codegenerator:jar:2.2.0-SNAPSHOT Which does not allow quickfixj-core to build, which in turn does not allow any other projects to compile, since they all depend on the core project.
I have tried a suggestion I found on the net, to run mvn eclipse:eclipse to help build the eclipse projects but by the time it reaches the core engine project, it throws the same error: [ERROR] Plugin org.quickfixj:quickfixj-codegenerator:2.2.0-SNAPSHOT or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Could not find artifact org.quickfixj:quickfixj-codegenerator:jar:2.2.0-SNAPSHOT -> [Help 1]
I was able to successfully import the project into IntelliJ and Netbeans using the help of @ChristophJohn.
First, run:
mvn clean install -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true -DskipTests -PskipBundlePlugin
And then just import it to IntelliJ or Netbeans.
I wasn't able to import it to Eclipse or VS Code. But, as this worked with IntelliJ and Netbeans, for me it is enough.
