Module option in Run/Debug Configuration

What is the Module option used for in the Run/Debug Configurations?

Shouldn't it be possible to set an application's (== Run/Debug
Configuration) class path independent of the module?

Why it should be possible?

Dmitry is there a reason webapps don't have a module to define? Is this
coming?

Because the Run classpath might also contain resource directories, that
are not necessary to compile (= module class path) and seem to confuse
IDEA at the moment.

Add these as a library to a module that needs them.

But this confuses IDEA: classes/packages from these directories are not
displayed any more in the project/package view!

... which makes IDEA 963 again unusable for our projects :(

I'm pretty sure there is a SCR for this. We run into this all the time
because we have a series of servers that operate as a service-provider
environment. The same server can be started with a different directory
for the its resources and thus be configured. But idea only allows the
adding of resource directories at a global level (project/module) -- not
at the run/debug level. The ability to specify an additional classpath
at the run/debug level could have many uses. The above is one. The
ability to swap on and off aspects could be another
