Just had the same problem. According to This IDEA Support Thread it may be somewhat of a red herring error message. It looks like the module file is actually correct (even though intellij takes you there), yet the problem is actually because IDEA adds a compiler parameter with all the alt-enter's we did (we all do it...).

If you navigate to settings -> Build, execution, deployment -> compiler -> Java compiler and look towards the bottom, you will see that its has added and --exports of awt from datatransfer to the module, as shown in the image below:

Idea settings box

Simple remove this and awt is only read from desktop.

I understand this problem isnt the most in depth explanation of whats going on, so if anyone would like to elaborate it would be mush appriciated.
