Description

IDE plugins use the internal API for listing subprojects containing IDE projects to include inside a workspace. Instead, those plugins should be using the public variant dependency management APIs:

- See [IdeaPlugin](https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/master/subprojects/ide/src/main/java/org/gradle/plugins/ide/idea/IdeaPlugin.java#L487-L505)
- See [XcodePlugin](https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/master/subprojects/ide-native/src/main/java/org/gradle/ide/xcode/plugins/XcodePlugin.java#L346-L360)

Research direction

Start with IdeaPlugin.java and XcodePlugin.java at the linked locations, then identify how each currently uses internal APIs to list subprojects. Replace those uses with the public variant dependency management APIs, and verify that IDE projects are still included in the workspace.
