Cleaning out the system caches, keep in mind that:
It results in clearing the local history.
To avoid losing data, check in the changes to your version control system before invalidating caches. Causes a complete rebuild of all the projects ever run in the current version of IntelliJ IDEA.
@Oliver Kocsis note that when you're creating a new maven module, one of the wizard's screen is the below:

So, you just need to add \yourModuleName to Content root.
