     // TODO in theory it should work like this but it doesn't as it couldn't unmark source roots that are not roots anymore.
     //     I believe this is something should be done by the underlying maven importer implementation or somewhere else in the IDEA
     //     For now there is a contributeSourceDirectories implementation that deals with the issue
