[cmake-developers] Better Eclipse CDT support

[Oliver Buchtala]

Hi,

I like to get involved offering work on the Eclipse CDT generator.

Currently, the generated project setting is not very Eclipse'ish.
 - one large project
 - linear build, i.e., build failure in early sub projects stops the
whole chain
 - project overview looks like navigator on  cmake binary directory
 - source files can be found in 'includes'

All in all, this is not what a developer used to CDT wants to see ;)

What I want to do:
 - generate projects for each target (like in VC generators)
 - based upon makefile generator
     > eclipse cdt projects can be based upon existing makefiles (e.g.
in sub-dirs)
 - add folders:
    * src: using eclipse linked folder pointing to source location
(CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR)
    * cmake: eclipse linked folder pointing to CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR
 - add project dependencies for correct build order

Having this would make the CDT generator beeing a serious citizen on the
cmake generators list.

Q's:
- What is your opinion?
- Stage access?
- Collaborators? Author of CDT4 generator?

Bye,
Oliver
