A while ago I encountered the exact same issue.

There are a few independent project files committed for Eclipse, but at
least a while ago they were all severely outdated. Eclipse can run the ant
build file(s), but that's an isolated action and doesn't effect the Eclipse
native project files. Meaning, you'll end up with a useable build but there
are a lot of errors shown in the source files so you can't really use any
of the Eclipse editor features like navigate into, open call hierarchy, etc.

I think someone should either update the Eclipse project files and keep
them up to date with changes in the ant build file, or just remove the
Eclipse project files entirely. As it stands the situation is indeed a
little confusing.

Kind regards,
