I do not know whether there is the equivalent for plain eclipse.

Assuming that there is no existing ant task for plain eclipse to import projects, this would be an interesting contribution which should interest either eclipse itself or at least ant4eclipse or maybe both ? If someone can step it and code it. Automation could revolve around eclipse psf files (Project Sets), importing a whole set of projects from the file system, or importing a specific project.
