I have an existing C++ project on a linux environment, and would like to import it into the Eclipse IDE.
Not sure if I should start a new Eclipse C++ project, or if there was some way to import the source files?

You can create a new Eclipse C++ project ‘in-place’, i.e. if you have your sources checked out at /home/joe/mysources, you can select that directory in the new project wizard (uncheck the ‘use default location’ checkbox first). All your source files will show up in the Eclipse project.
