How to turn off Eclipse warning "The import is never used"? - eclipse

I have a lot of this warnings in project and I would like to turn it off. I'm not interested in removing those imports, so please don't tell me how to do it.
I'm using eclipse 3.4.2.

To change for the entire workspace:
Window > Preferences > Java > Compiler > Errors/Warnings > Unused Import > Ignore.
To override workspace settings for a single project:
Project > Properties > Java Compiler > Errors/Warnings > Unused Import > Ignore.

#SuppressWarnings("unusedImports") disables just unused imports as opposed to al unused items

Btw, one very good shortcut is ctrl+shift+o that cleans those imports automatically.
Also it is possible to put so that in every save imports are automatically organised from:
window->preference->java->editor->save actions
If you prefer to leave those imports there, it is ok. But that is to anyone else :)
Also I am not sure about 3.4 version.

If you have a file org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs then you can add org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.unusedImport=ignore.
When using vscode this file should be seen from the project root in a folder .settings.

Unresolved inclusion eigen3/Eigen/Geometry

I have this problem:
unresolved inclusion:
I am working with Eclipse and I typed :
#include <eigen3/Eigen/Geometry>
I checked Project->Properties and this is what I have is this:
So I think it should be included. What is going on with eclipse?
Look into C/C++ General -> Indexer, and be sure to tick:
Enable project specific settings
Index unused headers as C++ files
This should solve your issue.
Eclipse tries to include by default the .h files of the library but those are not sufficient to build the project correctly. As done by default by Eclipse for the stdlib, substitution rules need to be used in order for Eclipse to automatically handle includes correctly.
Go to Preferences > C/C++ > Coding Style > Organize Includes > Header Substitution, There you can add a new rule, and import the eigen-header-substitution.xml file.

Eclipse CDT shows semantic errors, but compilation is ok

I have installed Eclipse Indigo for C/C++ Linux developers on Ubuntu 10.04 x86.
When I use common predefined macro __BASE_FILE__ Eclipse says Symbol '__BASE_FILE__' could not be resolved, but compilation is OK. I have to use it so often in my code and Eclipse fills my screen with red lines and bug icons :)
How can I fix this?
Not sure if this addresses your specific problem, but I also had semantic errors. They just came out of the blue after having a working project.
Anyway, I fixed it with a single option in workspace settings by setting:
"Build configuration for indexer: Use active build configuration"
The other option was "Use the build configuration specified in the project's indexer settings" and this is the one that wasn't working. I think it may have been corrupted after an eclipse crash.
Window -> Preferences -> C/C++ -> Code Analysis -> Syntax and Semantic Errors: OFF
This won't solve the cause of the problem but at least will stop the false errors from being shown.
The simplest solution is to reset the indexer:
Window / Preferences / C/C++ / Indexer.
uncheck "Enable indexer" ->>OK
rebuild all, may show lots of errors
check "Enable indexer" ->>OK
rebuild all
This error can be produced by forced closing of eclipse by power failure.
You need to rebuild the index of your project.
Right-click on the project, then Index->Rebuild.
Deleting the .metadata folder , and then Import project .
This way is OK!
Updated:
You have to add proper paths to Project->Propoerties->C/C++ General->Paths and Symbols. If it does not help, you can configure Eclipse Code Analyser (which generates the 'errors') in Project->Properties->C/C++ General->Code Analysis. Under the error description you have problem with, try Customize Selected->Scope->Exclusion Patterns.
IMO the correct solution is to define the symbol in Project -> Properties->C/C++ General -> Paths and Symbols -> Symbols tab. Since you can assume the symbol will always be supplied by the compiler, you just tell Eclipse to consider it defined.
I had the same problem just recently, where Eclipse complained about undefined macro, that i always supply using -D<MACRO_NAME> compiler option.
I think it has something to do with the workspace/.metadata.
I had the problem of semantic errors reported but Hello World compiles and runs.
I deleted the project, created another one, same error reporting. Reinstalled CDT, same thing. Deleted the workspace, shut down Eclipse, restarted, created new hello world, same thing. Deleted the workspace again, shut down Eclipse again, this time noticed that Eclipse had recreated the workspace folder during shutdown when it couldn't find it. Deleted the workspace with Eclipse shut down. Restarted Eclipse, created HW project, errors show for about a second and then gone. Deleted project, created another one, errors show for a sec, then poof.
If you actually had projects in your workspace (mine was a clean install), I bet that you could just delete the .metadata folder within the workspace, and it would fix it.
I personally agree with compostus' answer.
It's good to solve the real problem that eclipse's code analyzer have.
But when I try this steps:
define the symbol in Project -> Properties->C/C++ General -> Paths and Symbols
I don't find symbol tab or any place to add a symbol. what I want to do is putting macros like -DANDROID or #define ANDROID 1 to eclipse so that the code analyzer can find this definition.
I'm under Mac OSX mountain lion.
adding as another answer, hopefully this will help someone.
I have a ~simple workspace (1 c++ shared-object (linux's version of a DLL, 3 c++ executables, and a pydev python project)
I checked out all the code to a new machine, and it builds fine but had numerous 'semantic errors' on std-c and std-C++ code and includes.. I went through all the discovery / indexer setting to no avail.
==> deleting the entire .metadata folder fixed this.
Since i had nothing non-trivial set up in the workspace (all in the project files / makefiles), eclipse happily created a fresh workspace, and i simply had to do a file->import-> existing projects
If on Ubuntu, go to Window > Preferences > In Search box type "Indexer" > Select Indexer in left column.
Under heading "Indexer Options" tick the following options (all but those involving the skipping of files):
Index files source files not included in project
Index unused Headers Index all header variants
Index source and header files openend in editor
Allow heuristic resolution of includes
Under heading "Indexing Strategy" tick both options which are:
Automatically update the index
Update index immediately after every file-save
Under heading "Build Configuration for the indexer" select the following option:
User active build configuration
try this:
Preferences --> c/c++ --> Indexer --> Index all header variants
check this option.
This is a file indexing issue.
Solution - Right click on the project, Index->Freshen all files.
(Applies to Eclipse CDT.Oxygen)
In my case, I eventually discovered that the indexer was having problems because a colleague had “helpfully” duplicated a whole load of declarations in two header files that were only included together in a small subset of C files in the project. Removing the duplications (and making one header include the other) allowed the indexer to function correctly again.
It was particularly a problem with duplicated enumerations, for some reason. I do not know why this is so.
I used #pragma once in my code. This configuration caused me to have the problem:
---fileA.h---
#pragma once
#define MYMACRO(X) func(X)
---fileB.h---
#include "fileA.h"
---fileB.cpp---
#include "fileB.h"
MYMACRO(5) <---- warning here
I replaced #pragma once with #ifndef #define HEADER_FILE_H #endif, and that fixed the problem.
Not sure if this works for the OPs issue, but I had semantic errors in eclipse Luna and was able to resolve them by following instructions in this thread: Eclipse shows unresolved inclusion but it compiles
The compiler finds the header, but Eclipse not.
You could help Eclipse and set the path to the header files under:
Project -> Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Settings -> Compiler ->
Includes
In my situation, eclipse had determined one of my include directories, but did not determine that there were sub-include directories within it.
I had a similar issue but my compile was fine but Eclipse showed errors on lines that used a #define from another include file. I fixed by checking "Index all header variants". I think the classis #ifndef FILENAME in include file was process multiple times in Indexer and so 2nd time the FILENAME was defined so all #defines in .h file were not "seen" by the preprocessor. Go to Window | Preferences | C/C++ | Indexer.
I have the same problem. Compiler preprocesses ok, but static analyzer doesn't. In my source file:
#define PLATFORM_INC_FILES
#include <platform.h>
int coflags=O_BINARY; // Undefined symbol
In platform.h (an OS dependent header to help creating portable code):
#ifdef PLATFORM_INC_FILES
#include <stdio.h>
...
It looks like static analyzer doesn't take the .c #define statements into account when preprocessing included headers. By defining it at the symbols dialog, errors dissapear, but that is a project scope symbol definition, resulting in every source to include every system header in my case.
Hope it gets fixed soon...
Using Eclipse Mars and MinGW on MSIS2.
The problem occurs this way: I insert a new variable name into the code somewhere e.g. "newone" in this example:
int a;
foo()
{
a=17;
newone=23;
}
The file is saved (so the indexer is reindexing).
Then I added the definition:
int a, newone;
foo1()
{
newone=0;
}
foo()
{
a=17;
newone=23;
}
The indexer will still shows the error at the line " newone=23;" but not at the other lines of code containing "newone".
Solution: first define your variables, then use it.
M.
In the past, I would define the ANDROID symbol in:
Project -> Properties->C/C++ General -> Paths and Symbols -> #Symbols tab
However, the latest version of Eclipse no longer has a # Symbols there, or anywhere else.
It seems there is no longer any way of defining symbols in Eclipse.
Eclipse has so many bugs and problems.
I finally gave up and switched to using Gedit and the terminal to compile.

Pydev say, "Unresolved import" error

hm..
Sometime, PyDev say "Unresolved import error".
In my environment
Python2.6.6 Eclipse3.7 PyDev2.2.2
Errors are.
> Unresolved import: pycassa -> import pycassa Unresolved import:
> WebSocketHandler -> from geventwebsocket.handler import
> WebSocketHandler Unresolved import: tweepy -> import tweepy
Is there any helpfull information?
Had the same problem. In the end I was able to fix the problem by deleting my old interpreter in Preferences > PyDev > Interpreters, and creating a new interpreter called "python" which had the correct paths. After quitting and reopening eclipse, pydev found all my modules.
Probably your PYTHONPATH is not set properly (or if those are libraries in the interpreter, maybe you added them after configuring it).
See: http://pydev.org/manual_101_interpreter.html for references (note the part on forced builtins there as it might be your case).
You get an unresolved import if the required module cannot be found. Modules are searched for in the current working directory and the directories listed in sys.path. Your python cannot find the modules pycassa and tweepy it appears.
Might want to check this: http://klaith.wordpress.com/2009/06/12/pydev-unresolved-import-errors/
I solved by recreate the interpreter. There is a guide at pedev.org:
What if I add something new in my System PYTHONPATH after configuring
it?
If you add something to your python installation, you need to either
add it manually as a 'new folder' in the System PYTHONPATH (if it's
still not under a folder in the PYTHONPATH) or (recommended) remove
your interpreter and add it again, then, press apply.
Note that if you added a library that's already under a folder in the
PYTHONPATH, you have to at least go to the interpreter preferences and
press apply so that it clears its internal caches (after the
configuration is done, things are set in stone for PyDev)
Thanks for Fabio Zadrozny and nicodjimenez.
I had a similar problem before. I solved the problem by this steps:
1)Window > Preferences > PyDev > Interpreters > Python Interpreter
2)Delete the Python Interpreter path you added previously
3)Add "New" Python Interpreter and choose python.exe path
4)Check Libraries tab (I found the problem at this step.)
Check your path name, is it true or false? Eclipse detect "C:\Python27\lib" but it should be "C:\Python27\libs" and "C:\Python27\Lib".
In the properties for your pydev project, there's a pane called "PyDev - PYTHONPATH", with a sub-pane called "External Libraries". You can add source folders (any folder that has an init.py) to the path using that pane. Your project code will then be able to import modules from those source folders.
Check this two links it may be helps to you,
Unresolved Import Issues with PyDev and Eclipse
Unresolved import: models
Is pycassa found as a symlink within a directory on your PYTHONPATH? Pydev apparently has a bug where its code analysis cannot follow symlinks (and hence will not see your libraries). The python interpreter can though of course.
I was having a similar problem with the dbfpy module.
I had downloaded the tar archive and installed the source files in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
With this I was able to import the packages in IDLE and even run the code in Eclipse. However the pydev import was still showing as an error with the message "unresolved import"
As suggested by Fabio, I checked the PyDev documentation for forced-builtins. Just adding the name of the package ("dbfpy" in my case to the Forced Builtit tab of Python Interpretr in Eclipse) solved the issue.
(I know the answer is a bit late)
if you installed a python package using, for example: pip install django
i solved the unresolved import issue doing this:
In eclipse:
Window > Preferences
In the left panel tree structure go to:
PyDev > Interpreter - Python
In the upper right panel be sure to have the correct interpreted selected
and in the bottom right panel, click New Folder, navigate to your python installation site-packages (usually in c:\Python33\Lib\site-packages) and search for a folder that ends with .egg-info
In my pc it is "C:\Apps\Environments\Python33\Lib\site-packages\Django-1.5.4-py3.3.egg-info" since i installed python in C:\Apps\Environments, should be different in your case.
This worked with django and selenium, should work with all others as well (as far as i know)
Adding the corresponding package folder ending with '.egg-info' to PyDev > Interpreter - Python - library will resolve the problem.
In Linux, it is usually under /usr/local/lib/pythonX.X/dist-packages
Add site-packages path in environmental variables.
Right click on
computer -> properties -> advanced system settings -> Environmental
variables
.
After that is done, remove the python interpreter and add it again in eclipse.
right click project name in
eclipse --> properties --> python interpreter
.
Hope it works.

How can I get Eclipse to index an entire C/C++ source tree that contains multiple "make projects"?

I'm having trouble getting Eclipse to index my source code. I'm using Eclipse Helios on Windows XP at the moment.
I have a directory called src. Within it, I have a bunch of dirs, something like this:
src
-include (common headers)
-lib
-libIO (source code for this library)
-libGUI (source code for this library)
-pgms
-pgm1 (source code and headers for this pgm)
-pgm2 (source code and headers for this pgm)
Each leaf has its own Makefile. There is no top-level Makefile in src. pgm1 can and does include files from include and lib/libIO and lib/libGUI.
Basically, I want Eclipse to index my entire src directory, without having to set up a C/C++ project for every leaf in my tree. I can't seem to find a way to make this happen.
Here's my symptoms; what I'm trying to solve for:
When editing source in the pgm1 dir, it references functions that are declared in my include dir header files and defined in source files found in lib/libIO.
However, when I press F3 to get to the declaration of a function, Eclipse says "Could not find symbol 'X' in index". I can't seem to get Eclipse to find either the header declaration or the source definition for the method under my cursor (like the Java module does perfectly). Is this possible?
I had exactly same issue as OP but for some reason the menus in Eclipse I was using (Helios Service Release 2) were not "Go to Properties -> C/C++ General -> Paths and Symbols -> Source Location.".
The way I fixed the issue was :
in C/C++ view, right-click on top project name;
in the menu, select New->C++ Project;
in the window that appears, select Convert to and then select C++ project;
click OK to close the window.
Eclipse will start indexing right away. Depending on the size of source tree it may take a while but you will have the indexing working finally after that.
I faced similar situation. I solved it in this way: right-click the project in project View-->select Index-->rebuild.
I managed to solve this thanks to comments here.... I ended up recreating my project. I used the Import method to download a project from CVS, and told it to use the New Project wizard to do so. When I got the New Project dialog, I told it this was a C++ Project, and the indexing now works fine.
I still wish I could index files without having to attach a specific project type to it, but at least I found an answer.
Thanks for the help all.
Exit Eclipse. In workspace go to ".metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.cdt.core" and delete everything in there.
in the project explorer panel, right click the project you want to re-index, then select index, then select the action you want
Indexing of files and variables under different flags is always complicated when we have a huge project, lot of files and more importantly lot of different build options. I prefer playing around with the Indexer option to help me browse the entire code.
You can find it : Project Properties>C/C++ General/Indexer.
You can choose "Enable project specific settings"
Then it's up to you to choose the options you want for your project.
For a particular build we can choose "Use active build configuration" so that only the files and MACROS are considered which are used by the build script.
Or Index all source files in the entire project.
I am using Eclipse Neon 3, here's the solution that worked for me :
go to File
New
Convert to C/C++ Autotools project
then select your project and finish.
It can take some time to finish indexing, it depends on your project size.
I have experienced problems with the indexer of Eclipse Luna when there was an unresolved friend declaration in the class declaration - it seems then that the indexer skipped indexing the rest of that class, and all references to it was shown as unresolved by the indexer.
Solution: removed the unresolved friend declaration (in my case, it was legacy code that was no longer needed).
Please try the following (my project is set up differently, so I am not sure this will work for you).
Go to Properties -> C/C++ General -> Paths and Symbols -> Source Location.
Do you see your source folder there?
I observe this behavior:
When I add a source folder and then exclude it from build, it disappears from the above list. After that the folder is no longer indexed. Re-adding it to "Source Location" solves the problem: the folder is now indexed; remains excluded from build (as intended); is visible among source locations.
I believe it is a bug -- excluding a source folder from build should not remove it from source locations list.
In Coocox IDE (Eclipse + gcc) the problem is resolved by going from file menu
Edit > Preferences > C/C++ / Indexer > Build configuration for Indexer set to Active build configuration and the rebuild the project (Ctrl R).
If the project is already converted to C/C++ and still the index is not working you can right click on the project and Index and rebuild. The project will start indexing right away.
I am using
Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Linux Developers
Version: Helios Service Release 2
Build id: 20110218-0911
I followed the suggestions above and in addition I had to mark all referenced projects (with in the work space) using project properties->Project references
The following has worked for me in Eclipse Neon:
New Project -> C/C++ -> Makefile project with existing code -> Next. Then Navigate to the code and finish the project creation. Indexing starts automatically.

Most efficient way of setting up a project Pydev PYTHONPATH in Eclipse (Helios)?

I want to add all folders in my Pydev project to PYTHONPATH so that I can reap the benefits of easily seeing unused imports etc. To do this I seemingly have to add all folders manually including the subfolders, one by one. Is there any way to add them all at once (recursively) or am I doing this completely wrong?
Now I right click the project in the Navigator and select Preferences. From there I go to Pydev-PYTHONPATH and finally I can add the folders.
Ok, just to give a proper answer, you should just add the folder(s) that you want to be in the PYTHONPATH as your source folder(s).
So, if you have a structure such as
/myproject
/myproject/src
/myproject/package
/myproject/package/__init__.py
/myproject/package2
/myproject/package2/__init__.py
You'd only want to add /myproject/src as your PYTHONPATH.
If you really had multiple folders to add there, you could edit the .pydevproject file (which is at the root of your project) and add multiple folders there at once (although as noted, you should only have few folders there, so, this is generally not needed -- although sometimes you may want that if you're adding multiple libraries to a folder or something alike).
The PyDev FAQ explains this properly on the items listed below:
How do I import existing projects/sources into PyDev?
How do I import existing projects/sources for a Django project into PyDev?
Check this out, this worked for me.
if you get an error “unresolved import: pydevd” try saving the file ‘manage.py’ first. the error should go away.
If the error persists: you need to make sure pydev is in your PYTHONPATH.
a) Go to Eclipse>Preferences>PyDev>Python Interpreter:
b) Click New Folder> (mac)”/Applications/Eclipse/plugins/org.python.pydev_x.x.x.x/pysrc”
c) Click “Apply” This adds the folder that contains pydevd.py to your PYTHONPATH. Eclipse automatically adds that to your project’s Python Library. This should resolve the problem and you can run it now.
