That is not is ParaView anymore? When did it go away? I use it all the time and recommend it to my first time users to compile their own filters. I would vote to keep the functionality if it is not causing problems for other parts of the build. Why was it removed? Is it removed in CVS or

Michael Read again carefully and this time look for the in fact it still exists, but probably nobody uses it any more since plugins have improved so much - I actually use it myself, so I'm playing deveils advocate, but I like plugins better now... JB That is not is ParaView anymore? When

I sooo missed the subtle difference between PARAVIEW_EXTRA_EXTERNAL_MODULES and PARAVIEW_EXTRA_EXTERNAL_PLUGINS. My eyes just saw what they wanted to see and the brain didn't process it correctly. So how does this mechanism work? Do I still need to have a *ParaViewImport.cmake file in
