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

[Gerard Ziemski]

hi Karen,

The Xcode project is just to build hotspot libs, which it then combines 
with all the other JDK libs and jars built beforehand using command 
line, to create a complete JDK build that can be ran using Xcode for 
live debugging hotspot.

I have made a deliberate decision, which may have not been the right 
one, to put the project inside the hotspot folder, so that one can have 
multiple jdks and Xcode projects at the same time and tightly coupled. A 
long term vision here is that eventually we may consider providing 
officially supported projects for modern IDE that build hotspot to the 
developer community - a "jdk/hotspot/ide" location seemed like a logical 
choice for storing project that is supposed to go along with hotspot.


cheers
