Remove .classpath from repository #307

The git repository contains only one remaining .classpath file. Generally, such files should not be tracked in the repository as they change depending on the used IDE.

A former contributor vhschlenker explained: "This specific .classpath was kept, because eclipse did not automatically detect the xtext-gen folder as source folder, as far as I know. I absolutely agree, that the repository should be IDE-independent. So we should verify, that adding the required generated source folders are mentioned in the setup guide and maybe explain how to add them for Eclipse and/or IntelliJ, so that any confusion about errors with missing sources are avoided. Maybe, there is even an automated solution. I know, maven can declare additional source folders, but I don't know if the IDEs could pick that up."
