About modules
What is a module?
A module is a part of a project that you can compile, run, test and debug independently.
Modules are a way to reduce complexity of large projects while maintaining a common (project) configuration.
Modules are reusable: if necessary, a module can be included in more than one project.
Module configuration files
Configuration information for a module is stored in a .iml
module file. By default, such a file is located in the module's content root folder.
Development teams, normally, share the .iml
module files through version control.
