Dear colleagues,
I am pushing PR-536 forward while I am on vacation and I am free to do what I 
love:

https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/pull/536

I believe the goal of the change is sound: we want to cleanup the enormously 
large root directory to be GitHub & newcomers friendly. Structuring the source 
code per clusters is a natural way to do it. I've just updated the PR to 
reflect current changes in master. It is ready to be integrated.

On the other hand, this is just a first step towards the ultimate goal. The 
change only moves `platform` and `harness` modules. However I am afraid that 
next week I'll be forced to return back to my regular duties and I will not 
have the capacity to convert more clusters or to keep my branch up-to-date 
with further changes in the master branch. It is very painful to keep track 
with bigger master changes and merge files in different locations properly. As 
such I'd like to integrate just this part and leave the rest for later and for 
you guys. I hope Junichi will handle php, Jan Lahoda could do java cluster and 
hopefully I talk somebody into doing the ide cluster. Volunteers are indeed 
more than welcomed!

Once the change is integrated, you'll need Apache NetBeans 9.0 to work with 
the NetBeans sources. I assume that shouldn't be a problem - we all love to 
use the latest release, right?

Thanks for your contributions to Apache NetBeans and your support of this per-
cluster source re-organization change.
