Automatically done.

Eclipse stores the compiled classes in bin/, while build/ is used by
the CDK build.xml...

Eclispe doesn't handle module dependencies either.

Basically not :(

There is some code to enable automatically building with Ant as
building step for Eclipse, but that makes building in Eclipse slow (as
slow as on the command line, basically...), which is turned off in
trunk/...

Right click on the 'cdk' project, and select the Properties item.
Then, in the 'Builders' section, enable 'EclipsePreBuild' to have it
build using Ant too...
