Which menu are you using to try the import?
I do not observe the same behavior (no "xml" file required)

> What am I supposed to do ?

.cproject and .project are xml files.

Did you try what's described here:
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/Eclipse_CDT4_Generator

http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/CMake:Eclipse_UNIX_Tutorial

It was written for CDT4 but it looks as if its works for me with CDT8 (Indigo)
I do "Import Existing Projects into workspace" select the builddir and
the project is found
and imported withtout trouble.
