Hi All-
We would like to use cmake for our build infrastructure, and Eclipse for code editing/debugging. I found and read (http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/Eclipse_CDT4_Generator) which worked as expected.. However, what became apparent is that anytime we update our source code working tree there is the possibility that another developer has added directories/files and/or changes the CMakeLists.txt file, rendering our Eclipse configuration out of date for the new code. The two major limitations I see are:

1) Having to delete the project from Eclipse, regenerate .project/.cproject, and re-import the project anytime the source code structure changes 2) Related to the above, losing any local modifications to the project configuration made after generation when regenerating it

How are other teams dealing with these problems? Problem #1 is the much larger issue I suspect, but solving both would be ideal.

As a secondary question, why doesn't the generator create a .project/.cproject in the root directory of a project, but just put all temporary/build data inside a build subdirectory - and create separate projects for each subdirectory?

Thanks,
David
