Yes, but you also can't do what free-form projects can do.

Eclipse projects can't say "reliably do whatever that Ant script does 
for build, clean, compile, etc, actions".  The do their own thing which 
can be quite disparate from what the actual Ant script used by 
integration does.

In particular this leads to developers adding dependencies via Eclipse 
projects that do not exist in the Ant scripts and neglecting to update 
the Ant scripts -- and other such neat build breaks.
