CMAKE_ECLIPSE_GENERATE_SOURCE_PROJECT

.. versionadded:: 3.6

This cache variable is used by the Eclipse project generator. See :manual:cmake-generators(7).

If this variable is set to TRUE, the Eclipse project generator will generate an Eclipse project in :variable:CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR . This project can then be used in Eclipse e.g. for the version control functionality. CMAKE_ECLIPSE_GENERATE_SOURCE_PROJECT defaults to FALSE; so nothing is written into the source directory.
