Summary: Generate Eclipse Workspace instead of Project
Description:
CMake generates entire solutions for Visual Studio, with multiple targets
becoming separate projects. In Eclipse, a "Workspace" is equivalent to a Visual
Studio "Solution", within which you have multiple projects.
It's unclear to me why CMake by original design generates only a single project
for eclipse, not an entire workspace(=solution) with separate projects for each
target, which, in my view, would be much more intuitive and would make separate
target compilation much simpler from the get-go.
I thought it prudent to bring this issue / feature request to the table for
discussion.
In my view, the right solution would be to deprecate the current mode of
"single-project" generation (yet leave it available as a legacy option for
backward-compatibility, perhaps simply as a separate generator entry), while
changing the default behavior to generating an entire eclipse Workspace.
