RFR (XS) 8033946 - Hotspot build should ignore "ide" folder

[Karen Kinnear]

Gerard,

I'm a bit confused  - if you have an ide to build the entire jdk - what happens?
I was a bit surprised to see a hotspot specific change?

Also - can't you store your favorite IDE project outside of the repository?

thanks,
Karen
