In version 7.0.2 I had an issue importing a module file created by maven mvn idea:idea. JetBrains sent me a workaround (while I lost sorry). I recall it was something about a variable no being defined correctly in the iml file, but I'm not sure which one and how to resolve it. I just installed 7.0.3 and I'm getting the same issue again. I was hoping you would have fixed this. I search the issue database and I don't see me issue being tracked: Here is the problem. 1. Create a module .iml file from a maven sub project pom.xml file using maven idea:idea. 2. Open or create an IntelliJ project 3. Select File | New Module 4. Select Import existing module 5. Navigate to iml file created by mvn idea:idea 6. Click Finish Notice the "Configure Path Variables" dialog appears with nothing in it. Clicking on OK presents a "All path variables should be defined." error message and I cannot continue with the import process. See attached image and iml file. Please let me know if there is a workaround.
