Description Alex Ronke

2011-05-26 12:46:28 EDT

Build Identifier: 20110218-0911

I recently upgraded from Ganymede to the latest build of Helios.

I imported my existing projects into my workspace.

I cannot get "Mark Occurrences" or "Open Declaration" to operate (at all) while working in those projects.

I deleted the .project and .cproject files from the project folders, then re-imported them.  Same thing happened.

I created an entirely new project, with a sample "helloworld.c" file, and those features work there.

Is there some sort of setting that I'm missing?  Maybe an old configuration file that needs to be deleted?

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a project using Eclipse Ganymede.
2. Delete the .project and .cproject files from the project folder.
3. Upgrade to Eclipse Helios.
4. Import the project.
5. Attempt to use "Mark Occurrences" or "Open Declaration".

Did you re-index your projects? Have a look at your indexer settings, the full indexer was removed. I suggest trying Indigo out, it will be released next month.

I wasn't able to fix the issue by doing a normal compile (which typically sets up the indexer).

It did, however, begin to start working after I did a make clean on the project.  This seems a bit odd to me, as my project uses custom makefiles.

Further notes:

Occasionally, when I close and open Eclipse, this problem will arise again, and I'll have to do a make clean (sometimes followed by an additional make) in order to get the indexer working again.
