I have been working on a C++ project for a while and finally decided to switch to an IDE. The project uses the opencv library, which I was able to successfully configure in the past. At some point, I must have pressed the wrong button, because my Properties > C/C++ General > Paths and Symbols pane no longer has an "Include" tab, and eclipse is giving me all sorts of "unresolved inclusion" errors for both opencv and STL includes.

index.php/fa/13493/0/

At first I thought it was because I started using Kepler. Even after switching back to Juno, the problem persists. When I open a new project in the same workspace, all the correct tabs are available. I have a few theories and ideas:

1. Does this have something to do with the 'orphaned configuration' error message? How can I fix (or just reset) my configurations?

2. Is there a "backdoor" way to add the include paths by modifying .cproject or .settings/ directly?

3. The best way to clean a project's settings is probably to make a new project and move all files over. Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks!
