I think what's meant by "bad practice" is that most Eclipse projects are set up with local system dependencies in them, like paths etc. Having that type of information under version control would mean that everyone would change the information in the project to their required settings, end up with a changed file, which would then become part of the next commit, overwriting everyone else's file, who then have to change it... ad infinitum. I we set up the Falcon project files such that no changes need to be made, I'm perfectly happy to have them be under source control. Will make life much easier every time you have to set up these project anew.
