IntelliJ how to add module to existing module

Question

I am trying to add new microservice in my project. I want it under Microservices module, but when I click Microservices -> add new module (loan-service) it appears over my Microservices module, but not nested inside it as a part of Microservices module.

Even more in the left panel navigation this module is not showing. Is this the right way of doing things or am I missing anything

Answer 1

Make sure you specify the correct content root (highlighted yellow and green) when adding a module .

You can also group different modules in the Project Structure dialog without actually creating a parent module for them - the group will be visible in the Project tool window (red underlined).
