Answer 1

To expand @Neo answer: after choosing your directory. select import module from external model and choose your model (maven in this case).

Then check keep project files option from next dialog. It will keep all files in original directory.

Your final project structure would be something like this.

Now you can add your module as dependency to other module's pom.xml and if you change the source code of your dependencies, Intellij takes care of updating your project (there is no need to run mvn build manually for dependencies)
