Also remember that on the same Wiki page there is the slightly more
unofficial way of using Eclipse by first generating plain makefiles
from CMake then manually creating a new "Makefile" project in Eclipse.
This will give you full access to your projects files and allow a
build folder within your project directory. Been doing it this way for
the last 3 years with Eclipse and CMake.
