A headless build means, that you can run a build without starting the graphical user interface of Eclipse. For that, you have a build script (in case of Eclipse headless, it’s an Ant script AFAIK), which you can start via command line, and thus it’s possible to start the build on a server without graphical interface.
Lars Vogel has a good tutorial on that.
