RE [CMake] Eclipse CDT and CMake

[Andy Dingfelder]

I've been reading through the thread on Eclipse CDT and CMake and have a
couple questions.

I have installed the eclipse plugin from
http://www.cthing.com/CMakeEd.asp 
It color codes the CMakeLists.txt file, not sure what else it does, as
it did not have any documentation I could see and  there is no help or
faq on their website.

I ran through the instructions on the wiki:
http://paraview.org/Wiki/CMake:Eclipse 
and was not clear on a couple of points.  

First of all, the example refers to a helloworld.cpp file, which does
not exist by default... perhaps it needs to be added to the wiki? 
I could use eclipse to generate a class file named helloworld but I am
not sure if the example needs any particular code.

the example also shows a CMakeLists.txt file which also does not
exist.

What would go into it?

Moving on and guessing about where I could go from here, I then
downloaded the example code from http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Examples.html
and dropped it into my new project, and did an eclipse "build all".

It did a build, and generated some files, but did not make the
executable output that I expected.

before running the cmake, the file structure was:

CMakeLists.txt
Demo/demo.cxx
Demo/demo_b.cxx
Demo/CMakeLists.txt
Hello/hello.cxx
Hello/hello.h
Hello/CMakeLists.txt
Build

after, the following files got put into the build dir: 

CMakeLists.txt
Build
Demo/demo.cxx
Demo/demo_b.cxx
Demo/CMakeLists.txt
Hello/hello.cxx
Hello/hello.h
Hello/CMakeLists.txt

CMakeCache.txt
Makefile
cmake_install.cmake
