If you have upgraded to IntelliJ 2021.2 you might have noticed that Jelly files are no longer recognized as XML. This is due to regression in the platform "Since 2021.2 plugin can't register extensions for existing file types via FileTypeFactory : IDEA-277310"[1]. It should be fixed in 2021.3
Thinking it was a new way platform works, I tried to work above regression around and caused regression in the IntelliJ Maven plugin. Stapler Framework Support 2.0.1 and 2.0.2 are causing the issue. I reverted my "fix" in version 2.0.3.
So, please update Stapler Framework Support to 2.0.3 if you currently run 2.0.1 or 2.0.2.
If you are on IntelliJ 2021.2 and Jelly is not recognized as XML, please add file type association manually as a workaround.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
