[cmake-developers] Adding a non-make based generator

[Saeed, Khurram]

Hi Alex,

I have not made it available anywhere so far. Although my target while writing this generator was only to make it work for ReadyStart projects. However, I think with some effort down the road it might be possible to use it for normal Eclipse CDT projects as well.

We want to make it available to general public but we have been wondering whether or not it would be "acceptable" to have a generator that generates managed Eclipse CDT projects?

Best Regards,
Khurram

I have the impression Brad was not overly excited.
On the other I have the impression that the Eclipse CDT team is also not overly excited of the cmake server mode (at least 2 years ago when I was on the mailing list).

Would it be hard to extend your generator so that it can also be used for "normal" Eclipse CDT projects ? Is it already available somewhere, e.g. github ?
