Migrating a project to FW_F4_V1.16.0

I wanted to upgrade my F4 FW from 1.13 to the latest. For the STM32CubeMX Eclipse plugin to recognize the new FW I upgraded it to v.4.22.0 in the AC6 environment. I installed the F4 FW to v1.16.0 and migrated the project my project with the STM32CubeMX v4.22.0. I then updated my Project Properties paths to point to the new FW_F4_V1.16.0 location. 

I had some initial problems with errors in the HAL files that cleared up with reboots of the environment. But two problems persist. 

1) When I generate code in STM32CubeMX plugin I get the error window shown in the attachment.

2) When I try to build the project, I get errors in the HAL. Specifically, it can't find the declaration for the '

DMA_HandleTypeDef' structure in stm32f4xx_hal_dma.h even though this header is included. There may be more things that it can't find, but it bombs on this one. 

Any ideas? Thanks,

1) Make sure the directory tree doesn't get too deep and you don't have files open anywhere. Close out all projects (in Keil I'd open a different one so it fully releases). Try having cube create into a new directory.

2) Make sure that

stm32f4xx_hal_conf.h in your project enables the modules you wish to pull in, observe that the include files check for definitions.
