I thought I had read somewhere that Jenkins supports integration with Eclipse to build Eclipse projects, but now I cannot find any documentation supporting this. Is this possible to do or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Copy paste your Jenkins server URL in the Server field and give it a name (Label), click Finish. You will see your new build server under Builds. Right click on it ---> Plan ---> Open in browser. This will open your Jenkins dashboard inside the Eclipse IDE.
Jenkins runs as a server on a variety of platforms including Windows, MacOS, Unix variants and especially, Linux. It requires a Java 8 VM and above and can be run on the Oracle JRE or OpenJDK.
Yes, it is possible. You could use Maven builds with Tycho (see the Minerva example).
You could also use Buckminster to reuse the PDE builds - Jenkins also has a Buckminster plug-in for easier configuration. And it is also possible to build Eclipse with Ant, and execute it with Jenkins.
If I have to choose a way, I would suggest Tycho - it seems the most easy to use from the current items, and would forget Ant, as it is not that well supported.

You can run Eclipse build from the command line: http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.jdt.doc.isv%2Fguide%2Fjdt_apt_building_with_apt.htm
C:\path\to\eclipse\eclipsec -nosplash -application org.eclipse.jdt.apt.core.aptBuild -data %WORKSPACE%
And you can add this as a batch command to Jenkins
