+CMAKE_ECLIPSE_GENERATE_LINKED_RESOURCES
+---------------------------------------

+This cache variable is used by the Eclipse project generator.  See
+:manual:`cmake-generators(7)`.
+
+The Eclipse project generator generates so-called linked resources
+e.g. to the subproject root dirs in the source tree or to the source files
+of targets.
+This can be disabled by setting this variable to FALSE.

+-------------------------------------
+
+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.
+:variable:`CMAKE_ECLIPSE_GENERATE_SOURCE_PROJECT` defaults to FALSE; so
+nothing is written into the source directory.

+----------------------------
+
+This cache variable is used by the Eclipse project generator.  See

+
+This variable holds arguments which are used when Eclipse invokes the make
+tool. By default it is initialized to hold flags to enable parallel builds
+(using -j typically).

+CMAKE_ECLIPSE_VERSION
+---------------------
+
+This cache variable is used by the Eclipse project generator.  See
+:manual:`cmake-generators(7)`.
+
+When using the Eclipse project generator, CMake tries to find the Eclipse
+executable and detect the version of it. Depending on the version it finds,
+some features are enabled or disabled. If CMake doesn't find
+Eclipse, it assumes the oldest supported version, Eclipse Callisto (3.2).
