One extra thing: In order to keep the hierarchical project structure when doing a Maven synchronize from IDEA you have to go to Maven view (plugin) press the Maven settings button, go to "Import" tab and select the option "Create module groups for multi-module Maven projects", press OK and only afterwards do the synchronization. You will have to do that only once.
