What I mean is: the problem seems to be that source files are not listed per-target in the codeblock files CMake generates, so creator is forced to guess. I don't know if better information can be put into the C::B files, but I think the proposed json file is a better solution anyway. I don't generally like that creator (and clion) have to rely on parsing a foreign generators files. >> Yes.

I was thinking about a case where the source groups defined in http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/command/source_group.html commands would be exported in the JSON. I don't know if that's a good idea or not, but if it is, then yes, namespacing may be the only issue.
