I have a question about Intellij...what does the little blue square next to the folder represent? Project? Module? Library?

[Matteo Mirk]

it represents a module

[Nat Elkins]

Thank you!

[Nat Elkins]

I realize now (at least for the project I'm in) it's all dictated by the build.gradle files

[Nat Elkins]

And settings.gradle, etc

[Matteo Mirk]

exactly, then Intellij parses that configuration and builds its “Project Structure” (which you can check from a button in the upper-right corner), that identifies directories and files with different icons and actions/context menus available, etc. The same is true for maven projects
