Summary0013596: Eclipse project: Set Source path to the source code directory
DescriptionThe Eclipse indexer by default indexes the entire project. This causes headaches as the cmake-generated projects include [Targets] and [Subprojects] which contain copies of all the source code.

In bug 13189 we discuss marking the [Targets] and [Subprojects] resources as "derived". Unfortunately the CDT indexer seems to disregard their "derived" nature and indexes them anyway. For more info on this apparent CDT bug see
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=390964 [^] and http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=rview&goto=948782 [^]

In addition to marking [Targets] and [Subprojects] resources as "derived", I recommend we also set the eclipse project "source path" to point to the [Source directory] resource. This causes CDT to limit its indexing to the [Source directory] resource. This solves the problems described in bug 13189.

See attached for an example of manually making this change.

Can you try the EclipseFixIndexerBySettingSourcePath branch from cmake stage ?
http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=stage/cmake.git [^]

Alternatively you can also simply put the attached cmExtraEclipseCDT4Generator.cxx in a cmake 2.8.9 or 2.8.10 source tree and rebuild cmake.

Please let me know whether it works then for you as expected.

Yes, it works on Eclipse 3.8 under linux. Thank you so much this has been driving me nuts!

PS: How do I make the branch from cmake stage build cmake-gui? It built only ccmake cmake cpack and ctest. If I can figure this out, I'm going to ditch my system install and use your branch until this fix gets released.

You have to set BUILD_QtDialog to TRUE, e.g. using ccmake.
