Intellij Project View Modules of Parent POM as own Project

Question

I'm currently creating a parent pom and defining maven modules underneath it. With the current way I have Project view set up, It's placing the modules underneath the parent POM, and I have to drill down on them individually. Is there a way to have them in their own project so I don't have to drill down within each directory?

Thanks!

Go to

Settings -> Maven -> Importing

and play with these to find out what suits you.

Create IntelliJ IDEA modules for aggregator projects (with 'pom' packaging)
Create module groups for multi-module Maven projects

See http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/maven-importing.html for details.
