Initial Comment:
I'm having some strange issues with the avr eclipse plugin.

Even if I've included <avr/io.h>, eclipse still says the symbols associated with the MCU are missing(PORTB, etc).
The program however compiles and works fine.

The target MCU is an atmega8. I'm using the latest WinAVR.

To reproduce the problem, just create an empty project and reference to one of the MCU's ports.

IMHO this isse is far away from beeing closed. For me, it is AVR Eclipse's
biggest showstopper. Wrong warnings instead of content assistance is a bad
deal ...

I spotted this behaviour after migrating from windows to linux, using
Eclipse Helios. Autodetection of paths and symbols works fine, but with
linux, the found headers are not propagated into the project's
configuration. (Unlike with windows, there they got added to the projects
paths and symbols after the first compile-run)

It also appears with Eclipse Indigo.

Hi,

maybe running the "indexer" manually might help (from the project context
menu select "Index -> rebuild")

Currently the whole "discovery" thing of symbols is pretty messed up in
the AVR Eclipse Plugin.

I have finally been able to fix this and the next version of the AVR
Plugin should work much smoother with regard to auto-discovery of symbols.

Thomas
