6. Make sure that "Create IntelliJ IDEa modules for aggregator projects" is not selected.
If you plan to add new module, 'disable' a present cTakes module or make other changes to the main pom.xml, check the "Import Maven projects automatically" box.
See also: http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/maven-importing.html
7. Make sure that "Create module rgoups for multi-module Maven projects" is not selected.
