Description
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Remove IDE specific files from the repo because IntelliJ IDEA generates the IDE files from the gradle project definition.

Comment from Kevin Rushforth:
"
I just approved PR #401 which can unblock this. As a next step, JDK-8198795 should be split into 3 separate issues, one for each of IntelliJ, Eclipse, and Netbeans. You will need general consensus from the users of an IDE before removing the checked in files for that IDE. By splitting it into three separate issues, you can take care of each IDE separately when the users of that IDE are happy with it.

Would be nice to keep the java code formatting for the IDE, as idea supports this per project. One thing that gets in the way is the whitespace which openjfx does not allow, but does not come configured. This setting file will not bother because it does not get automatically changed. It's on .idea/codeStyles folder.
