Description

What steps will reproduce the issue?
1. Create a grails 3 project, and remove the src/main/webapp folder
2. Import the project with Intellij, you will see that you **cannot** navigate code with Cmd+B.

What is the expected result?
Intellij should import grails project even though the project is missing the src/main/webapp folder, because many people like me use grails for headless restful web services.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with a Grails 3 project after removing src/main/webapp, then import it into IntelliJ and test Cmd+B code navigation. Trace the project import behavior related to the missing folder. Done means the project imports successfully and code navigation works for a headless REST service project without src/main/webapp.
