<question>How does the IDEA plugin work on multi-projects?</question>
<answer>
<p>
Maven IDEA Plugin, by default, creates the project file (*.ipr) and
the workspace file (*.iws) from where the root pom is located. Then
module files (*.iml) are created for each of the projects inside the
reactor.
</p>
<p>
If some projects depend on another project in the reactor, then the
reference to the project is given instead of the hard-references to
the local repository copies of the artifacts.
