Yes, those are the standard groups created by cmake.

If you list also the header files in the sources for a target, they will 
appear in the [Header Files] group.

you should have a [Source directory] virtual folder pointing to 
${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}.
You should have a virtual folder [Subprojects], with one subdir for every 
project()-call in your project.

The "Make targets" tab should have some global targets to  build (like all, 
clean, rebuild_cache) and a "Build" and "Clean" make target for every target.

Is this so ?
