# Class IdeaModule

java.lang.Object
org.gradle.plugins.ide.idea.model.IdeaModule

public abstract class IdeaModule extends Object
Enables fine-tuning module details (*.iml file) of the IDEA plugin.

Example of use with a blend of most possible properties. Typically you don't have to configure this model directly because Gradle configures it for you.

     plugins {
         id 'java'
         id 'idea'
     }

     //for the sake of this example, let's introduce a 'performanceTestCompile' configuration
     configurations {
       performanceTestCompile
       performanceTestCompile.extendsFrom(testCompile)
     }

     dependencies {
       //performanceTestCompile "some.interesting:dependency:1.0"
     }

     idea {

       //if you want parts of paths in resulting files (*.iml, etc.) to be replaced by variables (Files)
       pathVariables GRADLE_HOME: file('~/cool-software/gradle')

       module {
         //if for some reason you want to add an extra sourceDirs
         sourceDirs += file('some-extra-source-folder')

         //and some extra test source dirs
         testSources.from(file('some-extra-test-dir'))

         //and some extra resource dirs
         resourceDirs += file('some-extra-resource-dir')

         //and some extra test resource dirs
         testResources.from(file('some-extra-test-resource-dir'))

         //and hint to mark some of existing source dirs as generated sources
         generatedSourceDirs += file('some-extra-source-folder')

         //and some extra dirs that should be excluded by IDEA
         excludeDirs += file('some-extra-exclude-dir')

         //if you don't like the name Gradle has chosen
         name = 'some-better-name'

         //if you prefer different output folders
         inheritOutputDirs = false
         outputDir = file('muchBetterOutputDir')
         testOutputDir = file('muchBetterTestOutputDir')

         //if you prefer different SDK than the one inherited from IDEA project
         jdkName = '1.6'

         //put our custom test dependencies onto IDEA's TEST scope
         scopes.TEST.plus += [ configurations.performanceTestCompile ]

         //if 'content root' (as IDEA calls it) of the module is different
         contentRoot = file('my-module-content-root')

         //if you love browsing Javadoc
         downloadJavadoc = true

         //and hate reading sources :)
         downloadSources = false
       }
     }

For tackling edge cases, users can perform advanced configuration on the resulting XML file. It is also possible to affect the way the IDEA plugin merges the existing configuration via beforeMerged and whenMerged closures.

beforeMerged and whenMerged closures receive a `Module` parameter

Examples of advanced configuration:

     plugins {
         id 'java'
         id 'idea'
     }

     idea {
       module {
         iml {
           //if you like to keep *.iml in a secret folder
           generateTo = file('secret-modules-folder')

           //if you want to mess with the resulting XML in whatever way you fancy
           withXml {
             def node = it.asNode()
             node.appendNode('iLoveGradle', 'true')
             node.appendNode('butAlso', 'I find increasing pleasure tinkering with output *.iml contents. Yeah!!!')
           }

           //closure executed after *.iml content is loaded from existing file
           //but before gradle build information is merged
           beforeMerged { module ->
             //if you want skip merging exclude dirs
             module.excludeFolders.clear()
           }

           //closure executed after *.iml content is loaded from existing file
           //and after gradle build information is merged
           whenMerged { module ->
             //you can tinker with Module
           }
         }
       }
     }

- ## Method Details

  - ### getName

    public String getName()
    Configures module name, that is the name of the *.iml file.

    It's optional because the task should configure it correctly for you. By default it will try to use the project.name or prefix it with a part of a project.path to make sure the module name is unique in the scope of a multi-module build. The 'uniqueness' of a module name is required for correct import into IDEA and the task will make sure the name is unique.

    since 1.0-milestone-2

    If your project has problems with unique names it is recommended to always run `gradle idea` from the root, i.e. for all subprojects. If you run the generation of the IDEA module only for a single subproject then you may have different results because the unique names are calculated based on IDEA modules that are involved in the specific build run.

    If you update the module names then make sure you run `gradle idea` from the root, e.g. for all subprojects, including generation of IDEA project. The reason is that there may be subprojects that depend on the subproject with amended module name. So you want them to be generated as well because the module dependencies need to refer to the amended project name. Basically, for non-trivial projects it is recommended to always run `gradle idea` from the root.

    For example see docs for `IdeaModule`

  - ### getScopes

    public Map<String,Map<String,Collection<Configuration>>> getScopes()

    Example how to use scopes property to enable 'performanceTestCompile' dependencies in the output *.iml file:

         plugins {
             id 'java'
             id 'idea'
         }

         configurations {
           performanceTestCompile
           performanceTestCompile.extendsFrom(testCompile)
         }

         dependencies {
           //performanceTestCompile "some.interesting:dependency:1.0"
         }

         idea {
