How to load softare for dev. board demos

Thank you, Alex. Here's what isn't clear yet - what are the steps to load software examples into Eclipse from a dev. boards?

Is this the way?- Start a new workspace and make the directory the specific example's folder that contains main.c? - then load the main.c file into a 'hello world" and then build it? Sorry if this is documented or obvious, but it's not apparent to me, in my searching.

I have tried making an example folder the workspace, and eclipse opens ready for work, but then how do i load the actual software example in? Perhaps i clicked the wrong folder? Thanks.
