Hi Again, I've done some digging into the plugin and found, that the module.jelly which generates the .iml file *does* sort the jar files into external and internal module vs. module-libraries.
I would suggest a plugin property which should be tested against in the module.jelly file, so it is possible to select wether jar files with same groupId as the current project are registered as module or module-library in the generated .iml file. The property could be something like maven.idea.project.groupmodules=<true | false> The default value for the property could leave the plugin with the current behaviour, thus backward compability is secured. How sounds ?
