[CMake] Cmake with Eclipse

[Alexander Neundorf]

Hi,

CMake cvs now makes adding generators for IDEs which work with external 
makefiles easier. 
There is a new class cmExternalMakefileProjectGenerator, which can be 
subclassed and be used to create project files for your prefered IDE. This is 
currently done that way with the KDevelop generator (for UNIX). The UNIX 
Makefile generator generates all the makefiles as usual, and after that the 
KDevelop generator runs and creates the xml project files for kdevelop which 
basically set up the directories, targets and source files part of this 
project.

Since Eclipse supports also projects with existing makefiles, it should be not 
hard to write such an generator for this kind of Eclipse projects. Then you 
could simply run cmake -G"Mingw Makefile - Eclipse" and you will get 
everything set up for Eclipse. 

If you are interested, it would be nice if you could go ahead and try it and 
ask if you have questions.
