Hi,
   I am having all sorts of problems with the source code in Eclipse. I 
have created a new blank C++ project in Eclipse and imported the entire 
sc directory into that project. Subsequently I have opened 
dpgroupdlg.cxx in the editor (I'm also not sure why Eclipse displays all 
directories duplicated) and Eclipse is displaying errors on just about 
every statement in that file.
   I think the first thing I need to do is to find all the include 
files and add those directories into the include file path in the 
project properties. One of the problems I have is that the statement 
"com::sun::star::sheet::DataPilotFieldGroupBy::SECONDS," is producing an 
error complaining that symbol SECONDS is not found. In the include list 
there is an include of "<com/sun/star/sheet/DataPilotFieldGroupBy.hpp>" 
and I have found a directory of that name in the offapi subdirectory of 
libreoffice, but that path does not contain DataPilotFieldGroupBy.hpp it 
contains instead DataPilotFiedlGroupBy.idl which contains a definition 
of SECONDS and the other time symbols specific in the code. How I 
configure eclipse to consider the idl file to be the same as the hpp 
file so that these symbols get resolved?
   I am also having difficulty determining which dp module equates to 
the dialog that gets displayed for variables that are dragged to the 
pivot table layout areas, to specify the attributes of those variables. 
Is there any documentation anywhere that explains what each module 
within the suite actually does and how they relate to what is actually 
displayed by Libreoffice for each function it performs?

regards,
Steve
