Hi Alex,

Hmm, if you plan to implement a makefile-based generator, why are all
those settings needed in the project file ?

I am not planning to implement a makefile-based generator. I just
chose cmExtraEclipseCDT4Generator as a starting point because it
seemed practical.

Do you think in this case - namely a generator that creates some
project files and doesn't need to generate a makefile - it would be
more appropriate to subclass cmLocalGenerator or cmGlobalGenerator or
both?

If you are not going to use makefiles, then you do not want to base it on the eclipse generator. You want to start with cmLocalGenerator and cmGlobalGenerator. Can NetBeans be driven from the command line? That is a requirement for getting try_compile to work. You might want to look at the VS 2010 generator as a model. It is the most recent one done. It has a target generator which is a bit easier than the local/global split of the older way of doing things.
