Application "org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.headlessbuild" could not be found in the registry

I'm trying to import a bunch of Eclipse Java projects into a workspace (called "TestWorkSpace") and I want to do this via batch script. I'm running into a bit of an issue:

Error shown in .metadata/.log

Any help is much appreciated! Thank you

The org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.headlessbuild application is part of the Eclipse C/C++ Development Tools (CDT), so you need to have that installed in order to use this application.

Neither the core Eclipse nor the Java Development Tools has a headless import tool.

You can import multiple existing projects using the 'File > Import > Existing Projects into Workspace' tool - but that requires using the Eclipse GUI.
