Summary:                    Eclipse project: Set Source path to the source code
directory
Description: 
The 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.
