>From the bug Description at
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=3796:
Visual Studio has "Solution Folders" for grouping Projects (i.e. build
targets). Large software projects would benefit from this feature. I
suppose the appropriate command would be PROJECT_GROUP, to parallel
SOURCE_GROUP.
Visual studio also calls them 'filters'. They let you organize your
projects into logical groups in the IDE which don't necessarily reflect
the layout on disk, for example:
Arbitration
Arbiters Static Lib
Includes\
*.h
Src\
*.cpp
Arbiters Unit Tests
Mocks\
Mock*.*
Tests\
Test*.*
Cache
Cache Static Lib
Includes\
*.h
Src\
*.cpp
Cache Dynamic Lib
Includes\
*.h
Src\
*.cpp
Resources\
*.res
Where 'Arbitration' and 'Cache' are simply containers for the projects
within them. Once you have a bunch of projects, it makes it easier to
navigate when you can group them. I'm really looking forward to this
feature being included.

So what is PROJECT_GROUP then? I don't see it in the help pages in
branch 'next'.

The patch in issue #3796 has not been applied to the CMake 'next' branch
yet. I think it is too late to consider for the 2.8.2 release, but it
could easily be in for the release after that if it's acceptable as-is.
(And somebody pushes it to next for testing on the dashboards...)
However, it would be nice to generalize that feature so that it works
with Xcode in addition to Visual Studio. There's a note in the bug to
that effect.
Thanks,
David

be in this release?
