<div dir="ltr">Although this is sort of orthogonal to what you do right now, I recommend Qt Creator as an alternative IDE to Eclipse. It links nicely with PETSc(or any other library for that matter) and has excellent c/c++ support.<div>

There is a tiny bit of information in the PETSc users manual about Eclipse:<br>
<br>
\section{Eclipse Users} \sindex{eclipse}<br>
<br>
If you are interested in developing code that uses PETSc from Eclipse or developing PETSc in Eclipse and have knowledge of how to do indexing and build libraries in Eclipse please contact us at \<a href="mailto:trl%7Bpetsc-dev@mcs.anl.gov">trl{petsc-dev@mcs.anl.gov</a>}.<br>
<br>
To make PETSc an Eclipse package<br>
\begin{itemize}<br>
\item Install the Mecurial plugin for Eclipse and then import the PETSc repository to Eclipse.<br>
\item elected New->Convert to C/C++ project and selected shared library. After this point you can perform searchs in the code.<br>
\end{itemize}<br>
<br>
A PETSc user has provided the following steps to build an Eclipse index for PETSc that can be used with their own code without compiling PETSc source into their project.<br>
\begin{itemize}<br>
\item In the user project source directory, create a symlink to the petsc/src directory.<br>
\item Refresh the project explorer in Eclipse, so the new symlink is followed.<br>
\item Right-click on the project in the project explorer, and choose "Index -> Rebuild". The index should now be build.<br>
\item Right-click on the PETSc symlink in the project explorer, and choose "Exclude from build..." to make sure Eclipse does not try to compile PETSc with the project.<br>
\end{itemize}<br>
<br>
We'd love to have someone figure out how to do it right and include that information.<br>
