+CMAKE_EXTRA_GENERATOR
+---------------------
+
+The extra generator used to build the project. See
+:manual:`cmake-generators(7)`.
+
+When using the Eclipse, CodeBlocks or KDevelop generators, CMake
+generates Makefiles (:variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR`) and additionally project
+files for the respective IDE. This IDE project file generator is stored in
+``CMAKE_EXTRA_GENERATOR`` (e.g. ``Eclipse CDT4``).
