[CMake] can I use cmake in parallel with Eclipse IDE?

[Bo Zhou]

It's not about neither CMake or eclipse, but your target build system.
CMake is the build system of build system, the actually work is related to
the target building system.

If you generated eclipse CDT project + Makefile, of course it might be
parallel, there is the option when you create the project. At Linux
platform, the eclipse and Codeblocks work as well, just work for basic
requirement, such as stepping, launch the application from IDE with
arguments.

Just some experience, thanks.
