I am not on the Insight Mail list any more, so forward this to the 
list if you want to.

The idea of configurations for standard make builds is not well 
supported, if at all, in Eclipse 3.2 with CDT 3.1.2. From the looks 
of Eclipse 3.3M7 and CDT RC0 it looks like that is changing. I can 
now have a named configuration(s) even with standard make projects. 
The easiest way to take advantage of this might be to have 2 build 
directories inside your project (Debug and Release) and then create a 
"configuration" that points "make -C Debug or make -C Release.

   I have been using the Eclipse 3.3 Milestones and so far 3.3M7 and 
CDT RC0 is working pretty decently. 3.3M7 + CDT RC1 wasn't so great 
on my setup (OS X 10.4.9 Intel). Mainly the indexing regressed and 
did not work well.

Hope that helps.

Also, concerning the wiki, let me know what spots gave you troubles 
and I will get it updated ASAP. The tutorial was written quickly with 
my 2 kids playing in the background so I might have missed something. 
I will be happy to correct or add detail where you think it is 
needed. My goal is to have the combination of Cmake and Eclipse be a 
happy one so more people are drawn to both systems.
