Yes, you create a project per binary and per library. C/C++ Makefile project. Each project must have a Makefile on top 
level to build.
Binary projects should have dependency on library projects - which would
allow recompile in correct order or when something changes. You can use container to build group of projects together, 
you can add it later.
After you convert your projects IDE would create .project and .cproject inside the top folder. These files should be 
checked in source control.
Next time somebody whats to check out projects they just select a folder and eclipse would discover all projects in 
there and check them out with proper settings.

'Makefile' creation wizard. But should there be a project per process/shared library? If so, do process projects have to
 'reference' library projects? I've also come across the term 'containers', should I be using those too? Once this is 
done, can the project structure be shared by developers?
