Newbie question on Java terminology

[Proud Japanese]

Hello,

I have started using the IntelliJ IDEA Java JDK from jetbrains.com.
The IntelliJIDEA tool uses things like Project, Module, Package etc.
I would really appreciate if someone could confirm whether or not this
is standard Java terminology, and in case it is, I would request a
small description on each.

Thanks,
Hayato

package:

Like the "package" statement is standard.

The other two term are not really Java terms at all but imo belong to an
ad-hoc collection of terms commonly used in the software engineering
community. IntelliJ is probably using them just the way everyone else does.

The Java Language Specification (JLS) is the ultimate authority on
what are Java terms, and what they mean if so.

I'm glad they made it: that way our team was kicked out by the world
champion, much better than by 3rd or 4th placed team. :-)

All the best
