I am not sure if anyone is still using make/jdk/netbeans. Apache
NetBeans does not (should not) need these config files, it supports
OpenJDK modules out of the box (with some tweaks/dependencies on
make/langtools/** to speed up langtools build).
It's by far the oldest IDE files in the source repo. They have not been
touched for a very long time, which indicates that they might indeed be
dead.
Would anyone be opposed to me removing them?

As Maurizio, there may be some need to move the "fast" langtools build
more carefully. I'll try to take a look later, unless some else wants
to. Although, a little independently, I wonder somewhat if there's an
opportunity to further speed up the ordinary make build in incremental
environment to reduce the need for a "fast" langtools build. E.g. by
enhancing the current Depend javac plugin, and possibly optionally
disabling the interim langtools build. This could improve incremental
build behavior for other modules (like java.base or java.desktop) as
well.

The IDE support in OpenJDK unfortunately leaves a lot to be desired.
There have been a garden variety of attempt to support a specific IDE
for a specific part of the code base, cluttered all over the code base.
This patch is a first attempt go get one ring, eh..., structure, to
rule them all.
I have moved all IDE project creators into the following structure:
make/ide/<ide>/<part of the code>
where <part of the code> is one of currently "hotspot", "langtools"
or "jdk", and <ide> is one of "vscode", "idea", "netbeans" or
"vistualstudio".
This will not magically improve IDE support, but will at least make
it clearer what we have and what we are missing.
Ownership of the IDE support is notoriously vague. I've cc:ed a bunch
of people who has shown interest and/or submitted fixes to some of
the IDE projects according to the hg history. I'd appreciate it if
anyone who is interested in a particular case for IDE support can
verify that it still works. I've tried my best to make sure all
targets can run without errors, but I cannot verify that the IDE
environment themselves are correct.
If you know about an IDE project that is no longer relevant, and
should be removed instead of shuffled around, please let me know!
