Module with same name as project

I read that the modules UI is temporary, and a real modules UI in the project preferences window will be implemented later. I think you've probably found one limitation of the current UI.

I guess it is the still existing main module from the project properties
dialog.

Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this behavior with modules in build 963...

I have a project that has several modules in it. One of the modules has the same name as my project. I did not create this module and when I delete it from Tools->Modules dialog box, it's still in the project window. When I restart IntelliJ, it's back in the Tools->Modules dialog box.

Is this a bug or some feature that I don't understand?

Thanks,
Tim

It is a bug (rudimentary from old modules UI). Will be fixed soon.

Okay, thanks for letting me know. I'll ignore it for now.

Just fyi - I'd run into this before and even tried deleting it from the project file (after shutting down). On restart it is recreated.

cheers

Same here, I tried deleting it and noticed it was recreated the next time I restarted IntelliJ. Persistent bugger. :)
