Oh.. Knee Jerk Reaction.. I guess I still need that cup of coffee yet this morning ;-)

Yes. I use it. Yes I would like it to stay if it does not cause any problems.

Read again carefully and this time look for the "in fact it still exists, but probably nobody uses it any more since plugins have improved so much" - I actually use it myself, so I'm playing deveils advocate, but I like plugins better now...

That is not is ParaView anymore? When did it go away? I use it all the time and recommend it to my first time users to compile their own filters. I would vote to keep the functionality if it is not causing problems for other parts of the build.

Why was it removed? Is it removed in CVS or 3.4?

There used to be a PARAVIEW_EXTRA_EXTERNAL_MODULES - which allowed you to compile modules into paraview - in fact it still exists, but probably nobody uses it any more since plugins have improved so much.

I have some users who want to compile paraview, and a couple of selected plugins, and then do a single "make install"

I've added PARAVIEW_EXTRA_EXTERNAL_PLUGINS to the main paraview cmake, which allows you to enter

vtkCSCSCommon;vtkCSCSFluent;vtkCSCSNetCDF etc etc etc

and then it prompts for paths to the sources, and compiles them at the same time as paraview itself.

Does anyone else need this functionality? Shall I add it to cvs? It's very simple - but does make life easier for the less experienced users (to manage one build instead of two).
