By adjusting the build paths, I got the includes in place. But, the library isn't being found and I get a bunch of undefined symbols during the link.

The libraries and include paths should be automatically getting updated by the plugins to point to the correct ${HOME}/wpilib/user/cpp folders (for includes) and files (for libraries) at Eclipse startup. Are the CTRE files actually installed in C:/Users/<your name>/wpilib/user/cpp/include and .../lib? There is a possible issue with the installer at present where if privileges are escalated (e.g. you're running as a normal user and need to type in an admin username/password) during install, the files will be installed into the admin user's wpilib directly instead of the user you're running the installer as.

Can you take a screenshot of the Includes section of your project?
