In [5], DeMeyer extended one consequence of Wedderburn's theorem; that is, if R is a commutative ring with a finite number of maximal ideals (semi-local) and with no idempotents except 0 and 1 or if R is the ring of polynomials in one variable over a perfect field, then there is a unique (up to isomorphism) indecomposable finitely generated projective module over a central separable R-algebra A.
