I am trying to build CMake project using Eclipse CDT 2019-06 with MinGW on windows 10.

I have setup MinGW, cmake and ninja all properly. So I can basically run gcc, g++, cmake, and ninja command from windows cmd window.

But after creating the cmake project in eclipse, I cannot build the project and the console shows error msg like "Build not configured correctly".

Then I open the property window of the project, and navigate to the CMake option. It immediately give me an "Count Not Accept Changes" error popup which says "The currently displayed page contains invalid values". The panel on right hand side of the CMake option is completely empty, while I think it is supposed to give me a "Lunch CMake GUI ..." button.

Then I open the "Error Log" views, and found an java.lang.NullPointerException thrown from org.eclipse.jface with following stack trace:

I tried the slightly older version 2019-03 but got same issue.
Is it a bug of eclipse or am I missing some important configuration?

Your help is mostly appreciated!

I have the same problem. When I navigate to 'CMake' tab I'm getting following exception. Does anyone know if there is any walkaround for this issue?:
