PCL + ROS Indigo: include not found if I use catkin_package()

Hi,

I have installed ROS Indigo under Ubuntu 14.04. I am trying to create a ROS package that uses the PCL library. I am using QtCreator as IDE.

My main problem is that QtCreator can't find the PCL headers. For example:

#include <pcl/point_types.h>

Therefore it does not autocomplete anything related to PCL. However, it DOES compile if I have PCL code, so I don't know where the error is.

This is my CMakeLists.txt:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3)
project(data_visualizer)

find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS
  roscpp
  rospy
  std_msgs
  visualization_msgs
  tf
)

find_package(PCL REQUIRED)

include_directories(
  ${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS}
)

include_directories(include ${PCL_INCLUDE_DIRS} ${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS} )
add_definitions(${PCL_DEFINITIONS})

catkin_package()


file(GLOB_RECURSE SOURCES src/*.cpp src/*.h)
add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} ${SOURCES})
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} ${catkin_LIBRARIES} ${PCL_LIBRARIES})

And my package.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<package>
  <name>data_visualizer</name>
  <version>0.0.0</version>
  <description>The data_visualizer package</description>

  <!-- The *_depend tags are used to specify dependencies -->

  <!--   <buildtool_depend>catkin</buildtool_depend> -->
  <!-- Use run_depend for packages you need at runtime: -->

  <build_depend>rospy</build_depend>

  <run_depend>std_msgs</run_depend>
  <run_depend>visualization_msgs</run_depend>
  <run_depend>tf</run_depend>
  <run_depend>libpcl-all</run_depend>
  <!-- The export tag contains other, unspecified, tags -->
  <export>
    <!-- Other tools can request additional information be placed here -->

  </export>
</package>

Hint: I notice that if I comment out the line "catkin_package()" from the CMakeLists.txt, then QtCreator is able to locate the PCL headers. Does this sound familiar? Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks a lot!
