Description

There are an increasing number of configuration files that need to be accessed when developed applications (especially prevalent with compiled TS/JS type applications) that cannot be accessed from the projects view.
It would be useful to allow these files to appear under the "project files" node of the project view, to avoid having to switch back and forth between the project view and files view.

There already exists a plugin that can do some of this: https://github.com/geertjanw/FullMavenProjectFilesNode - should this functionality become standard to the IDE?

Some example files are tsconfig.json, package.json, gulpfile.js, webpack.config.js, .gitignore
