Which version of Eclipse are you using, something before Helios ?

The virtual linked resources are new since Eclipse 3.6 Helios. I wasn't aware 
of that.

The next cmake release (i.e. 2.8.7) will try to recognize the Eclipse version, 
and only create those links if Eclipse is new enough.
If it can't find the eclipse executable and so can't determine the version, it 
will assume 3.6 or newer. If this is wrong, you can adjust it by setting the 
CMAKE_ECLIPSE_VERSION variable via cmake-gui.

This is already in the current git master branch of cmake.
