I am trying to build a ESP IDF example program "hello_world" in eclipse. I followed exactly as you mentioned in this link(esp-idf plugin) while installing ESP IDF plugin. But when I tried to build this project , I'm getting following error. Does anybody know how to resolve this? thanks

Looks like some dependency missing. was not able to reproduce. EIM now handles this functionality. Closing as this issue is no longer relevant.
