Removed the IDE meta files, added entries to .gitignore #6

I removed the files created by Eclipse and Idea and added them to .gitignore. The IDE files should not be a part of the code base (just like binaries don't). Developers can always create Eclipse/Idea projects by using mvn eclipse:eclipse or mvn idea:idea.

The IDE project files include configuration like code formatting and static analysis rules. It’s not possible for Maven to derive this information from pom files. We also don’t want to force contributors to use Maven, which is why the project includes an Ant build.

We’d be happy to support additional build tools and/or IDEs if there is interest.
