[External] : Re: Eclipse and Gradle in OpenJFX

[Kevin Rushforth]

We also did that for NetBeans, meaning we removed the NetBeans 
IDE-specific files and use their gradle plug-in (with somewhat mixed 
results). See https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8223375

FWIW, there is an open issue to do the same for Eclipse, but I think it 
hasn't been looked at in a while. Nir is the assignee so he will likely 
have some thoughts on this. https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8223374
