Oh, only gotcha with the method I outlines is that you have to start your eclipse from a shell with all the usual ROS variables being exported...that or either fire up a script which does that for you so you can put desktop icons on your panels (I have one I can paste here if you need).

I actually prefer just using makefile projects within eclipse. 

- create a new ros package
- in eclipse:
  - create anew, empty Makefile project. Turn off the default location and choose your ros package location instead.
- make sure you add the line 'set(CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE true)' to your CMakeLists.txt, this helps eclipses' c++ indexer.
- build project, clean project then both work as you expect...with a parallel build directory.

Of course, that will only let you make the individual project. But i typically do an rosmake for the project now and then (i.e. when I download or other packages have changed alot). Usually while developing all you need is to make the single package.

The above also has the advantage in that you don't have any problems with the .project, .cproject files getting shared amongst your team. That and the fact that you can make/rosmake from a shell and build from inside eclipse without it getting mucked up.

I should probably add some notes about this to the wiki.

I have a question about "make eclipse-project" command. I created a
package which has a number of CMakeLists.txt files as follows -

gps (package_dir)
    - CMakeLists.txt ( with add_subdirectory(src) )
    - src (directory)
        - CMakeLists.txt (with add_subdirectory(gps) and
add_subdirectory(node))
        - gps (directory)
            - CMakeLists.txt (with add_library)
        - node (directory)
            - CMakeLists.txt (with add_executable)

When I run "rosmake gps", all CMakeFiles directories and other related
CMake files are under the "build" directory as expected for an
out-of-source build. However, when I run "make eclipse-project", then
CMakeFiles directories, along with other CMake files are created in
directories that contain CMakeLists.txt files. The ROS wiki mentions the
work-around used by "make eclipse-project". Are all CMakeFiles folders
created outside the build directory a result of this work-around?

Thanks,
