I have an issue with IntelliJ. It doesn't show any folders in my project view on the left. My setting is "View As: Project" How can I manage it so that the folders and packages are shown again? I don't have any clue because I didn't change any options!

I'm using IntelliJ 10.0.3. I am working on a Maven Lift Project.

So after asking another question, someone helped me figure out that under File > Project Structure > Modules, there's supposed to be stuff there. If it's empty (says "Nothing to show"), do the following:

  1. In File > Project Structure > Modules, click the "+" button,
  2. Press Enter (because weirdly it won't let me click on "New Module") step 2
  3. In the window that pops up, click on the "..." next button which takes you to the Content root. Find your root folder and select it step 3 part 1 step 3
  4. Click the "ok" button
  5. Ignore any warning that says the name is already in use
