Description

### Description

There used to be a .editorconfig plugin for the previous version of Netbeans but it is not more maintained.
https://github.com/welovecoding/editorconfig-netbeans
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1287

Standardization of editor configuration should be a feature of the Netbeans itself, instead a plugin.

### Use case/motivation

EditorConfig helps maintain consistent coding styles for multiple developers working on the same project across various editors and IDEs. The EditorConfig project consists of a file format for defining coding styles and a collection of text editor plugins that enable editors to read the file format and adhere to defined styles. EditorConfig files are easily readable and they work nicely with version control systems.
