Due to this bug,

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1874

Edit ~/MySources/kafka/gradle.properties

Change to scalaVersion=2.11 from scalaVersion=2.10.4

Window > Perspective > Open Perspective > Java > Open.
Kafka project missing.

File > Import > Gradle > Gradle Project

Click Next

Browse - to the local directory of clone, ~/MySources/kafka
Click - Build Model
When done you should see this structure:
kafka
--clients
--contrib
----hadoop-consumer
----hadoop-producer
--core

Check 'kafka'. It selects all.

Click 'Finish'.

Time for break.

Workaround:
Eclipse > Preferences > Scala > Compiler > Build manager
uncheck withVersionClasspathVariablehttps://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1874
Missing:
import util.parsing.json.JSON
This results in compilation erros in 'core' and its dependent projects.
