When using this plugin, use @import without the url() notation.
This is still valid:

@import '../imports/less_demo.clearfix.css.less';

This allows the LESS plugin for Eclipse to parse @import'ed files and provide autocompletion of mixins and CTRL+Click to navigate of the definition of a mixin.

Easiest way to install Eclipse is to use the Ubuntu Software Centre. Searching for Eclipse will give you the version you need.

• Note: With Ubuntu Unity (12.04 LTS), using the Ubuntu Software Centre, the package "Eclipse" does not work properly. Eclipse returns an error message when you start it. Instead, try the package "Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE", it includes a working Eclipse :)
