The upgrade introduces support for a wide range of JDK versions (from 8 to 15, the latest version supported by NetBeans 12.3), and the switch from Ant to Maven makes the IGV build simpler, faster (first-time build is approximately 5x faster), and more stable (all dependencies are fetched directly from the Maven central repository).

I have tested IGV on a High-DPI screen (4K). The screens are attached to the bug-report.

Compared to baseline the new version improved DPI scaling on both JDK8 and JDK15. Some elements still doesn't scale.

Remaining issues identified:
1) The default zoom level is to small
2) The filter view has broken scaling - the font scales but not the line height.
3) The buttons above the graph view and file list doesn't scale - they are still tiny.
4) The splash screen doesn't scale

Still this is a big improvement and the remaining issues can be solved in separate PRs.

Looks good - Reviewed!
