[CMake] How to add files to Visual Studio 'Utility' project

[J. Caleb Wherry]

Hello!

I am having trouble with a generated VS project that I hope is either a bug
or has an easy fix...

When using UseJava, the add_jar function, and Visual Studio 2015, a VS
'Utility' project is created. I then want to add additional non-compiled
files to this project so I try to use target_sources but get his error:

"target_sources called with non-compilable target type"

In VS, I can easily add files to the project without issue. But I cannot
seem to add any additional files to this created 'Utility' project through
CMake.

I do this in other projects by using target_sources and setting the
HEADER_FILE_ONLY and WRAP_EXCLUDE properties to make sure the project
doesn't do anything with them and it works fine. Just can't do it for these
Utility projects.

My use case here is that the add_jar command doesn't actually add the java
source files to the project. I want to use VS as a code editor in this case
because it builds the jar. However, without them in the project, I have to
go outside of VS to edit them (and thus outside of my VS perforce control).

Thoughts? Maybe I am adding them incorrectly?
