I'm sure it's possible but most developers use the shell (bash, zsh,
etc) and text editor (vim, emacs, etc) of their choice instead.

I don't use Eclipse but in general:
1. Run "cd qemu && ./configure" from a shell to prepare for building
   QEMU
2. Import the QEMU source tree into Eclipse so the .c and .h files are
   in your project.  Now you can browse/edit the code.
3. Configure the project build settings to invoke make.  Don't try to
   use the IDE's build support because QEMU has a custom build system
   and it probably won't work.

You may also be able to set up git integration in the IDE but I don't
know how that works.
