[Qt ROS plug-in] Cannot import self-defined messages

edit

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to develop a GUI for a project to command easily a robot. I've made my own self-defined messages and tested them and everything works fine. The thing is that when I try to use this message on my user_interfacepackage (I've created it by using catkin_create_qt_create user_interface command on my ws_dir/src file), the compiler cannot find project_msgs/my_msg.h. I left here the configuration of my CMakeList.txt file and my package.xml file, because I do not know what I am doing wrong.
