I am the main author of the (only) LLVM plug-in for Eclipse CDT. It is still in development so might not be suitable for production environment yet. However feel free to test it to find out if it is suitable for your needs.

UPDATE The latest version is available via official Eclipse update site: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/mars

It is under Programming Languages and is named "C/C++ LLVM-Family Compiler Build Support".
