idea-maven-plugin creates IDEA workspace files .iml, .ipr and .iws with your own settings based only on project structure and given profile.
Maven Integration (build-in plugin to open maven projects in IDEA) is a good choice when you just want to open a project from scratch. if you want specific project settings you have to set its up manually. Maven Integration doesn't have any configuration file, it just opens your project with default settings. If you want your own, it's plugin for you.
IDEA Maven Plugin is deployed to Maven Central and you can simple run
mvn com.github.zhve:idea-maven-plugin:3.0b1:idea
If you want to use non default settings, save idea.bat to your project root, edit parameters, and run:
Create workspace: idea idea
Delete workspace: idea clean
