I downloaded Mozilla-central and built it. I am able to run Firefox Nightly using ./mach run. Now I am following the instructions of MDN on how to use Eclipse CDT with Mozilla code. I downloaded Eclipse CDT on my mac and installed it. When I execute the following command:
./mach build-backend -b CppEclipse
It raises an exception saying: Failed to launch eclipse to import project. Ensure 'eclipse' is in your PATH and try again
I tried to add the eclipse's directory (Applications/Eclipse.app) to my PATH environment variable but I still get the same error.
Here is the complete trace:
0:00.46 /Users/****/src/mozilla-central/obj-ff-dbg/_virtualenvs/init/bin/python /Users/****/src/mozilla-central/obj-ff-dbg/config.status --backend CppEclipse Reticulating splines... 0:02.99 File already read.

" Exception: Failed to launch eclipse to import project. Ensure 'eclipse' is in your PATH and try again
Also, using the command:
./mach ide eclipse
I again get the same message:
Eclipse CDT 8.4 or later must be installed in your PATH. Download: http://www.eclipse.org/cdt/downloads.php
How can I resolve this issue? I just need to open Firefox nightly in Eclipse to be able to get the call-graph and navigate through its source code.
