Hello,

I'm using eclipse+cdt+cmake every day.  The only eclipse plugin I use for 
cmake is a syntax highlighting editor
  - http://www.cthing.com/CMakeEd.asp

I don't know the eclipse generator of cmake or the commercial plugin you 
mentioned and don't feel used to consider them, because I don't see any need 
for them.

The attached tar contains the common cmake project structure I use.  There is 
a toplevel Makefile which handles the make+cmake logic (file:Makefile for 
linux,solaris and mingw on windows; file:nmake.mk for msvc and intel on 
windows) .

As you see it's not tied an IDE.  Everyone can do her/his work with the 
prefered editor i.e.: VS, eclipse, sun studio, emacs, vim or even notepad.

Best Regards,
 -- Maik
