[CMake] News on the Eclipse CDT generator

Hi,

if you are using the Eclipse project generator of CMake, you probably know 
about two problems there are:

1) in out-of-source builds, the svn plugin doesn't work in the linked resource 
which points to the source directory.
The problem is that Eclipse decides whether the version control plugin should 
be called or not, and it decides to call it only in directories belonging "to 
the project", i.e. subdirs of the directory where the .project file is located 
(and noit e.g. linked resources).
There is now a bug report for this here at subversive:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=364547

2) the projects don't reload properly after cmake has rerun, i.e. the make 
targets are not properly updated in the targets view.
There is now also a bug report for this here at CDT:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=364223 (you can vote for this 
bug to increase its priority)

So, if you are interested in these issues, maybe you can help somehow there 
There is nothing that can be done in cmake, both issues need fixes/changes in 
Eclipse/CDT/subversive/subclipse.

Alex
