Unable to load intellij module when using mvn idea:idea

Question

I am using: IntelliJ IDEA 11.1.3 (Community edition) and Maven 3.0.4.

The project contains several modules, one of them creates a war-file. When I use \"mvn idea:ide

Answer 1

I was getting the same error on Mac (i.e. "Error Loading Project: Cannot load module") too. This is how mine was fixed.

1. Tap with two finger on the Trackpad (kind of right click in away) on pom.xml file.
2. Go down in the menu to "Maven" and then select "Reimport".

That made it work for me, hope this helps you too :)
