In Eclipse, there is a "Run" Menu. In that Menu there is some sort of  
Option for "External Tools". Go to that menu and there should be a  
Dialog window that Appears. Fill in the information about the path to  
cmake. The "Working Directory" should be something like "$ 
{project_loc}/Build" (adjust for windows paths) and the "Arguments"  
should be "../"
  This is covered in the Wiki Entry:

If you edit your CMakeLists.txt file, then you will need to go back  
out to your terminal and rerun cmake. OR you can create an external  
program launch configuration and run cmake from within eclipse. To do  
this select the "Run->External Tools->Show External Tools Dialog..."  
menu. Create a new "Program" and call it Cmake. in the "Location"  
text field, type the absolute path to cmake (/usr/local/bin/cmake).  
If the "Working Directory" area insert the following: "${project_loc}/ 
Build" and in the Arguments section insert the following: "../". In  
the "Refresh Tab" Select ""The project containing the selected  
resources". In the "Common" tab check the "External Tools" selection.  
This will put a shortcut in the "Run" menu for you. Click the Apply  
Button and then run. cmake will now run on your project directory.

Try all that and let us know.
