For Fedora: you can install eclipse-cmakeed package until Fedora 20. For later versions, you can manually download and install eclipse-cmakeed-1.1.6-6.fc20.noarch.rpm manually. It works fine at least until Eclipse 4.5.1 in Fedora 22.

Prepare Dependencies
See Building OpenCog.
Generate new build files
(assuming source code working trees from GitHub are in a folder called cogutil, atomspace, and opencog)
Execute from outside of the source code folder:
mkdir cogutil/build
cd cogutil/build
cmake -G"Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles" -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
make -j4
cd ../..
mkdir atomspace/build
cd atomspace/build
cmake -G"Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles" -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
make -j4
cd ../..
mkdir opencog/build
cd opencog/build
cmake -G"Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles" -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
make -j4
cd ../..
Import Project
File > Import > General > Existing Projects into Workspace > [Next] > {browse to opencog_build folder} > [Finish]
Leave "Copy projects into workspace" unchecked.

Import/Setup Code Formatter
Open preferences window: Window > Preferences Open C/C++ > Code Style > Formatter in preferences window. You can either create a new code format for opencog using New button according to development standards, or import this predefined code style using the Import button.
You can either select this style to be used by all projects, or using on OpenCog projects only by selecting this style for each project. To do this, select a project (e.g. atomspace), go to Project > Properties, open C/C++ General > Formatter, enable "Enable project specific settings" and select OpenCogStyle (or the name of the style you've created).
