I wanted to add a configuration file to my Eclipse project where the
program could read configuration parameters from the file. How do I
set this up in Eclipse?

Your first task is to find such a file. you could always copy in a
replacement when Eclipse was asleep.

Then look for import/export commands so you can do it while Eclipse is
running.

I have not done this, but I noted an import | preferences command on
the file menu.

Do you want Eclipse to read a configuration file? In eclipse you can
export your preferences to a .epf file. When you import from a .epf
file any preferences defined in that file will be set to the value
stored.
