there is an RTEMS plug-in for Eclipse that used to work with an ancient 
version of Eclipse. Unfortunately it doesn't work with newer versions of 
CDT due to API incompatibilities. I was not really satisfied with the 
automatically generated build stuff from Eclipse. It worked well in 
simple scenarios, but not for larger distributed projects.

I would use waf to build the application. This should work with Eclipse 
if you disable the automatic builder.
