As far as I remember the discussion on Eclipse ML, it is NOT a CDT limitation but an Eclipse Platform one. Eclipse Platform "Team" abstraction which is common to any eclipse project (including CDT ones) assumes that "there is a one-to-one mapping between a project and a repository provider" i.e. the Generated Eclipse project file should be IN the source controlled directory. http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/platform-cvs-dev/msg00462.html However, Yes you are right that should be the way to go. I did thought about it but I personnally thought the time to spent for achieving this to be relatively high. The metrics were mine though :-) - Not too much knowledge of Eclipse internals - Seem to be an Eclipse-Team design re-work which seems very constrained: http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/platform-cvs-dev/msg00463.html -- Erk _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
