Obviously, the help in developing and testing is appreciated, but for
the particular problem in question the patch is required for the
Eclipse plugin. There are a few things that need to be worked on in
the generator that can be of great help, but I'm not sure that
.project/.cproject in the source directory is the right solution. More
below...

Exactly, the bug is in the Eclipse plugin... CMake is just too
powerful for it ;)

I'm certainly not, but I'm only the author of the CDT4 generator not a
CMake developer ;)
I can assure you that the cmake developers agree with you, cmake must not
create files in the source tree when building out-of-source.
I also agree but as the threads pointed by Eric show, Eclipse
developers are not open to modify the .project/.cproject behavior and
needs. They oversimplified their project management and now
out-of-tree builds (myapp-build), or in-tree builds in a different
directory (myapp/build) do not play well with the team integration
features (CVS, SVN, maybe even other features unrelated to version
control)
Wasn't there a way to get the cvs/svn stuff working with the eclipse
generator ?
Not according to my research. Check the three scenarios I described in
my original e-mail.
E.g. by setting up a project in eclipse for the cvs/svn sources and then
additionally loading the cmake generated out-of-source eclipse project ?
I think that's quite a mess, don't you?
The solution I found is not the cmake-ish way of doing things, but it
achieves pretty clear separation between source stuff and
cmake-generated stuff and works like a charm.
I think a good thing would be to document in the cmake wiki how to
set this up with the cmake generator.
