Can one build Eclipse projects from the command line? - command-line

Question

I would like to know if the issue of building Eclipse CDT projects from the command line has been resolved. I am unable to get this feature to work.
I am using Eclipse Indigo CDT.
I have three separate command line invocations of Eclipse.
Two commands import two projects into a workspace. There are no errors with the import commands.
The third command performs the build. The first project builds. The second project fails during build. The first project is essentially a makefile build, build instructions are not generated by Eclipse. The second project's build instructions are generated by Eclipse.
I am executing the commands in a empty directory. The .metadata directory is created.
I have eliminated the build step and opened the workspace manually. The projects build in the IDE.
I am using the command line format described in this link from 2009.
Build several CDT C++ projects from commandline
This Eclipse bug is described here. But reading of the conversation seems to indicate the issue was not resolved. Last entry is May 2010.

I am facing exactly same problem with ecos configured projects i.e. projects using ecos toolchain for cross compilation. For an experiment, I selected Cross GCC toolchain and applied all the project setting manually on a hello world project, and it builds well from command line. It seems that something is wrong when the projects are automatically configurd by ecos toolchain.
Thanks,
