Description

Related LTI issue: https://github.com/OpenLiberty/liberty-tools-intellij/issues/1274.

The following should be accomplished for muti-module projects:

  • The dashboard should show the parent and liberty configured modules in tree form where the aggregator project is the parent and the Liberty configured projects are the children.
  • If there are multiple liberty configured children, performing an action on the parent triggers the display of a dialog where the user could select from 1 to N liberty configured children. A dialog that can accommodate this is: org.eclipse.ui.dialogs.ElementListSelectionDialog. When the project is selected, the an action is performed on the selected child withing the multi-module project context and not as an independent project.
