Works like any other project with cmake, you just have o select the eclipse project generator. If you use cmake 2.6 it comes with cmake-gui, which pops up a dialog and asks you which generator you want to have (makefiles, eclipse, kdevelop), on the command line you have to use -G"Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles".
