Which unit test framework is in your opinion the best? It should be possible to use with c++/cmake projects. If possible it should have a eclipse plugin for it.

There are lots of unit test frameworks for C++. But I like Catch most. Its design is modern, and supports awesome features. It is a header-only library, so easy to use.
