I removed it and didn't have any issue with this. The classpath file is not 
used when importing a project, just when it's configured, and in this case 
there is nothing to configure since this project has no dependencies on the 
classpath or modulepath.

It could be confusing for a non-Java project to have files associated with a 
Java project. Also, we want to minimize the amount of unneeded files (if Gradle 
knew how to generate these itself we wouldn't need to check them in). Since we 
are doing a cleanup, it is the right place to do it.
