Hello,

I assume the mx projects are for Java code or do they also generate projects for native? The new top level target is only meant to replace the old Visual Studio project generator, at least for now.
+1 for having the build system a more central role when it comes to IDE project generation. While we can all resort to workarounds, I think that having IDE generation in a single place would be greatly beneficial in the long run.

Btw. there is already support to generate IDE configurations today via mx:

https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/Graal/Instructions

integrated with:

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8139921

One main advantage, as I pointed out in the review, is that it also includes generated files so there are no unresolved includes or methods anymore:

I’m using this every day.
