[Paraview-developers] Cannot compile PV plugin by adding non-vtk classes in server manager sources

[Sunrise]

Thank you for the response, Burlen! It worked!

I guess you meant SOURCES tag instead. Because CXX_SOURCE is not recognized.

ADD_PARAVIEW_PLUGIN(
    myVTKfilterPlugin
    "1.0"
    DOCUMENTATION_DIR       SomePath/doc
    SERVER_MANAGER_XML      SomePath/myVTKfilter.xml
    GUI_RESOURCE_FILES      SomePath/myVTKfilterGUI.xml
    SERVER_MANAGER_SOURCES  SomePath/myVTKfilter.cxx
    SOURCES                 SomePath/Class1.cxx SomePath/Class2.cxx
    )
