Maven project configuration required for module not available

Question

I have a Java/Maven/JSP runs with the Tomcat 8 server. The project structure is as following,

I have this pom.xml file provided below,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

            <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</project>

When I run the project, I get the following error,

Error:Maven Resources Compiler: Maven project configuration required for module 'WalletApp' isn't available. Compilation of Maven projects is supported only if external build is started from an IDE.

I took several measures,

a. in the terminal, run `mvn clean`
b. project -> right click -> `Make Module WalletApp`
c. project -> right click -> `Recompile Module WalletApp`
d. File -> Invalide Caches/Restart .... [This restarts the project]
e. Synchronize

Obviously, none of them worked out to resolve the issue. By the way, I use InteliIJ for the project. What should I do to solve the issue?

I tried solution from that question earlier. It didn't work and still get the same error. — Arefe, May 30 '17 at 04:35
On the right side of the IDE you should see s `Maven projects` button. If you click, can you see your project in the tool window? If not, try clicking the little _refresh_ button. Does anything change? P.S. you're missing the `target` directory from your project structure, but it will probably be created automatically after importing the project as a maven project. Also you can use @user when replying to someone, so they get a notification :-) — Morfic, May 30 '17 at 07:25
Delete ipr/iws/iml files, .idea directory and open pom.xml from the welcome screen to import the Maven project in IntelliJ IDEA. — CrazyCoder, May 30 '17 at 10:12

In the Event Log, I get an option to Add as maven project. I selected that option and the issue is immediately solved.
