Below some bugs/feedback (and some frustration ) In a project I have a EJB module and 2 web modules which are packaged together in .ear First problem is that IDEA creates 2 webmodules and names them both "Web", although I use <finalName>admin</finalName> and <finalName>mysite</finalName> in the build section of my pom.xml. Second, idea populates my application.xml and assignes id's to my webmodules (id="Web"), so application.xml becomes invalid, not unique id's. Third: it also doesn't populate context property within application.xml web module definition (I expect it to be using finalName). Also, after each synchronise, I have to go and fill those properties in for my webmodules (idea also changes my war names from, for example "projectname-admin-SNAPSHOT.war to webadmin.war and changes also application.xml, building with maven makes an invalid ear after this) these are all quite small, but really anoying things/
