How to use code completion into Eclipse with OpenCV

I would like to make work the source code completion for Opencv 2.3 on Eclipse. How can i do that? Programs work fine but the completion [ctrl+space] appears: "No default proposals".

Solution

  • For C/C++:

    1. Use CDT in Eclipse

    2. In your project root directory, create the project's Makefiles:

      cmake -G 'Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles'

    3. Import the project using Eclipse->File->Import->General->Existing Projects

    4. Enjoy code completion using Ctrl-Space

    For Python

    1. Install PyDev
    2. In Eclipse Navigate to... Window->Preferences->PyDev->Interpreters
    3. Configure PyDev, selecting the Python interpreter to be used
    4. Add /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (or other valid path(s)) to the System Libraries
    5. Add cv (or cv2) to the Forced builtins
    6. Enjoy code using Ctrl-Space
