How about a simple Makefile like this:

    all:
        ./bootstrap.sh && ./configure && make

This will help you in an eclipse environment without introducing a lot
of new dependencies and complexity. This simple Makefile does not even
need to be committed, I guess. You can just use it on your Eclipse
machine(s).
