In 2019-09, on a cmake project, the cmake generator choice was respected, and I could switch between "Ninja" and "Unix Makefiles".
However, since some version, up to at least 2021-12 the user choice is ignored, and Unix Makefiles will always be used.
The UI to switch is located in the launch configuration dialog (taken from 2019-09):
When building the project for the first time, (or after deleting all cmake generated files) you can see the chosen generator working in the build console:
Build console output taken from 2019-09:
Building in: /home/hideo-t/eclipse-workspace-test/cmake-hello/build/default
Configuring in: /home/hideo-t/eclipse-workspace-test/cmake-hello/build/default
cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON /home/hideo-t/eclipse-workspace-test/cmake-hello
-- The C compiler identification is GNU 9.3.0
-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 9.3.0
-- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc
-- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc -- works
...
see the 3rd line. Ninja is specified.
With the same setting, in 2021-12, the "Unix Makefiles" generator will always be used, and I cannot make ninja run.
The console from 2021-12:
Configuring in: /home/hideo-t/eclipse-workspace-test-2021-12/cmake-hello-2021-12/build/default
cmake -G Unix Makefiles -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON /home/hideo-t/eclipse-workspace-test-2021-12/cmake-hello-2021-12
-- The C compiler identification is GNU 9.3.0
-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 9.3.0
-- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc
-- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc -- works
See the 2nd line. On the launch configuration dialog, "Ninja" was specified in this case.
So it seems at some version this function stopped working.
Please take a look.
