Hi,
According to what I see, cmake 2.6.x supports CDT 4.x. We already have CDT 6.x. Is CDT 5.x and cmake 2.6.x are compatible at least?
Thanks Dima

A:
Yes, it is.
The eclipse CDT 4.x project generated by cmake is compatible with next versions.
I use them everyday, and work like a charm:
- cmake: version 2.6-patch 2 (Ubuntu 8.10)
- eclipse: version 3.4.1
- CDT: version 5.0.1
I have also tried to import those projects with CDT 6 and all it keep working. Would be really bad if you were not be able to reuse projects from old versions. Backward compatibility is really important for serious applications.

It's pity that the answer to the question is just trying and hope that it won't fail :) Here is one more brave person using CDT 6 http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2009-August/031124.html

Think this is not a cuestion about a cmake feature but about eclipse CDT projects backward compatibility

@fnieto You're right.According to answer of one of the cmake maintainers (http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2009-August/031131.html) CDT 5/6 probably fine with cmake 2.6.x

A:
what if project has subprojects (sample: http://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~mobile/MOOS/wiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Download). If you generate MSVC it creates an workspace and all the projects are there. But if generate for CDT only one project is created. Do you have any suggestion on modifying cmakelist files to get similar project tree?

What do you mean with subprojects? I generate eclipse projects with several targets and directory levels fairly well. In Eclipse does not exist the VisualStudio concept of project, they are just folders. Eclipse projects are the equivalent to VisualStudio solutions/workspaces.
