I now solved it using CPACK_INSTALL_CMAKE_PROJECTS and populating it with
all components to be installed. Not sure how CPACK_COMPONENTS_ALL is
different, but will take a look.

In my custom Macros I do more or less the same. I append all components to
a cached internal variable. Then later on I create the CPack configuration
with this information. I guess you mean the same when talking about a
global variable? Or is there a different more simpler way without using the
cache?

I use the following:
set(CPACK_INSTALL_CMAKE_PROJECTS)
foreach(component ${INSTALL_BUNDLES})
    list(APPEND CPACK_INSTALL_CMAKE_PROJECTS "@PROJECT_BINARY_DIR@;Apache
Celix;${component};/")
endforeach(component)
list(APPEND CPACK_INSTALL_CMAKE_PROJECTS "@PROJECT_BINARY_DIR@;Apache
Celix;framework;/")

CONFIGURE_FILE(${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake/templates/CPackConfig-Installation.in
CPackConfig-Installation.cmake @ONLY)

Yes it dit, it also gave me the idea that my solution is in the right
direction and that CMake/CPack doesn't support groups in its configuration.
Thanks!
