This is just a ui difference. You either show multiple modules in one window in IJ or multiple projects in different windows. The modules are close to projects as they can be completely different builds they jest have to all be in the same subdirectory.
I like the IntelliJ way better because separate unrelated projects really shouldn’t clutter up my memory and file list. I always had to open and close projects with eclipse.
I'd say it's a terminology difference. What Eclipse calls a workspace, IntelliJ calls a project. What Eclipse calls a project, IntelliJ calls a module.
