Hi and welcome to StackOverflow, your question is not about programming – Overtly

@Overtly I think questions about IDEs are fine on Stack Overflow. – Fergus

@Overtly ok, then please tell me what are IDEs for, if not programming – Fluidize

@Overtly you are so ingenious in finding the reason to avoid the point – Fluidize

Answer 1

According to JetBrains - Icon reference, this symbol is the most similar to the Package.

The blue dot package icon is an indicator that the Web Facet has been configured correctly and is usually seen on the web source directory src/main/webapp.

My answer is based on personal experience and observation while working with IntelliJIdea. Unfortunately, I am unable to find any official documentation confirming the statement.

Answer 2

The only information I could find related to Icon Reference guide (1) and the File Status Highlight guide (2). Additionally I found their list of new icons (3).

1. Source: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/symbols.html
2. Source: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/file-status-highlights.html
3. Source: https://blog.jetbrains.com/blog/2018/06/26/new-icons-in-intellij-platform-2018-2/

Hope this helps. Ill keep checking.

I have already seen these pages and found nothing about the dot :( – Fluidize

Could it be that the icon is for Package, but on the IntelliJ site it is not colored blue. I agree with Nikolas, above. – Rabkin
