You can do that using the following command (I'm using Eclipse Galileo in Mac OSX):

 /Users/me/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse -nosplash \
    -data /path/to/workspace \
    -application org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.headlessbuild \
    -import /path/to/your/project

It requires 2 things:

  • Install Eclipse CDT (C/C++ Development Tools)
  • Create a .project file in your project folder prior to importing it

Here's an example EPIC .project file, change my_project_name so it matches your project's own:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<projectDescription>
    <name>my_project_name</name>
    <comment></comment>
    <projects>
    </projects>
    <buildSpec>
        <buildCommand>
            <name>org.epic.perleditor.perlbuilder</name>
            <arguments>
            </arguments>
        </buildCommand>
    </buildSpec>
    <natures>
        <nature>org.epic.perleditor.perlnature</nature>
    </natures>
</projectDescription>
