Setup of PyDev and Eclipse for Blender Add-Ons - eclipse

Question

I followed the instructions in this ebook Programming Add-Ons for Blender 2.5 to setup a development environment.
Currently I try to debug an installed add-on called Bloop although it seems to work, eclipse still shows many error messages like:
class Mapping(object):
def __init__(self, joint=None, id=None, bone=None, other=None):
...
self.bone_matrix = bpy.bloop.armature.matrix_world.inverted() * self.bone.bone.matrix_local.inverted()
^^^^
ErrorMsg: Undefined variable from import: bloop
The external libraries are configured as follows:
Blenders version is 2.67, the add-on was developed for 2.59. I have absolutely no experience with Python in blender.
Another type of errors is:
Unresolved import: MappingSet bloop.py
from .mapping_set import MappingSet
Where MappingSet is in the same folder as bloop.py which tries to import.
The projects structure is as follows (I don't have a source folder since I want to edit in place)
What am I doing wrong?
A workaround to suppress at least the error messages is using ##UnresolvedImport and ##UndefinedVariable at the end of those lines.

I setup debug differently but still based on the lux-render tutorial.
First, create the a .py file, lets call it debug.py, which will contain a function which we will call later to setup debugging. Put this file in the same folder as the main __init__.py of your module. As per the lux-renderer tutorial, add the following code, updating PYDEV_SOURCE_DIR.
import sys
def startdebug():
try:
# set the PYDEV_SOURCE_DIR correctly before using the debugger
PYDEV_SOURCE_DIR = 'C:\Program Files\eclipse\plugins\org.python.pydev.debug_2.5.0.2012040618\pysrc'
# test if PYDEV_SOURCE_DIR already in sys.path, otherwise append it
if sys.path.count(PYDEV_SOURCE_DIR) < 1:
sys.path.append(PYDEV_SOURCE_DIR)
# import pydevd module
import pydevd
# set debugging enabled
pydevd.settrace(None, True, True, 5678, False, False)
except:
pass
When setting the PYDEV_SOURCE_DIR ensure you point it to the org.python.pydev.debug_xxxxx. There is another folder similiar to this. To ensure you have the correct folder it will contain a /pysrc folder.
Now in your main __init__.py, this must come before any other import statements to work correctly. Add the following directly under the bl_info section, as strangely blender parses this itself.
DEBUGGING = True
if(DEBUGGING):
import debug
debug.startdebug()
Having it here will avoids adding per file traces like the lux-render tutorial.
Add some breakpoint to the version in the add-ons folder,
Switch to the debug perspective,
Start Eclipses debug server,
Start blender
Run the script and it will hit the breakpoint.
The common problems I find people encounter:
pointing the path to the wrong pydev debug folder, ensure that there is a /pysrc folder
When Pydev updates, update the PYDEV_SOURCE_DIR as the debug_xxxxx will have change
not having eclipse server running,
setting breakpoints on a local copy of the files instead of the version in the blender add-on directory
saving the script does not mean that blender will reload it, use imp, disable/renable the add-on or restart Blender.
There are good instructions for setting up blender and eclipse for debugging.

While this is for blenders game engine, much of it applies to regular blender. Hope this help!
EDIT: I deleted it because I felt that this doesn't answer your question. But here it is since you insisted.
