I agree with Felipe. I think import
should be used when starting with a project file from a different IDE (e.g. Visual
Studio, QT Creator, etc.). I think of this case as Filipe does.
New Project -> with Existing sources

It makes sense to me as follows:
New Project -> with Existing sources
Import to me means like taking resources or something from a different
environment into Eclipse CDT
but in this case it is just to not start from scratch and as you need a
Eclipse project to work with Eclipse a
new project is a have to.

Excellent! Thanks.
One question I'm still struggling
with is whether this is really an Import operation, since it imports code, or a
New Project operation since it creates a new project, or maybe both. Anyone
have thoughts on that?

That sounds great. When we started using with Eclipse CDT we
had difficulties understanding how to create a CDT project for existing
sources.
The warning scared us but we tried and the project creation ended
up working.
At that time we were trying Netbeans for C and the project creation
for existing sources through the project wizard was almost straight forward.
Nevertheless we realized Eclipse CDT is much more powerful and
reliable that Netbeans for C but so far harder to configure and less intuitive
for starters.
I am willing to try this out.
