| No I wasn't aware of it. The only reference I found after a quick search was in the 2012-1-8 RInside news file.  I think that it would have to be incorporated into Eclipse's build system (not executed as an external tool) in order for all the features I mentioned in the post to work. My understanding is that there is an automatic cmake --> eclipse project converter, but I have not tried it. 

At this point Peter wrote CMakeLists.txt files for the different examples:

edd at max:~$ find /usr/local/lib/R/site-library/RInside/examples/ -name CMakeLists.txt
/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/RInside/examples/mpi/cmake/CMakeLists.txt
/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/RInside/examples/wt/cmake/CMakeLists.txt
/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/RInside/examples/standard/cmake/CMakeLists.txt
/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/RInside/examples/qt/cmake/CMakeLists.txt
edd at max:~$ 

Maybe this can be extended, combined, ... in a suitable way?
