Maybe this is of interest: the Eclipse CDT developers are currently 
working on improved support for cmake:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=350206
http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/cdt-dev/msg29621.html

But if I understand them correctly, this is not about improving support for 
projects which use cmake without eclipse, but to use cmake as the tool 
to generate the makefiles in Eclipse projects. But maybe I got that 
wrong.
