This is the 21st century, all IDEs support this, if you do not use an IDE (hi Gilles), then, well, you probably also like driving a stick for "control" :) The only tricky part is how organize such a folder to account for different IDEs and versions. For example ide/eclipse/3.7.1, ide/intellij/10.5.3, and so on. Then you can move the IDE files to where each IDE wants it.
