It can be done but it has to be for exact cmake4eclipse version and after CQ is approved - but if you do that cmake4eclipse can be included in the CDT repo even.

 

If it can be done I think we should do it if the community sees value. The direction is towards cmake (and other tools) and away from Eclipse making makefiles. If we can just include (with CQs) cmake4eclipse in CDT and/or Eclipse for C/C++ Developers we should provide one solution for the community.

My question then is does anyone rely on core build version of cmake? Is there anyone planning on doing any development work in that area. CDT ecosystem, to have a successful future, needs proper cmake support and needs to have a system that users aren't provided with confusing or incomplete solutions.
