Symfony2: How to enable autocompletion for annotations in PHPStorm?

Question

Following this simple code:

namespace AppBundle\Controller;

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;


class TestController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * @param $value
     * @return Response
     */
    public function indexAction($value)
    {
        return new Response('Hello:' . $value);
    }
}

Is any possibility to have code completion when I would like to add @Route in phpDoc? When I type @Route it should show code completion and automatic add "use" statement? I watched a symfony tutorial (I'm beginner) and in this video PHPStrom showed code completion and automatic added "use" statement... I installed symfony plugin and other things and code completions works.

As correctly stated by Patrik Karisch in the question's comments:

You need the to install the PHP Annotations Plugin to enable:

• autocompletion
• automatic addition of use-statements

... and other helpers for annotations in PHPStorm.

Installation:

• Go To Preferences > Plugins -> Browse Repositories
• Enter "Annotation" into the Search box
• Locate the PHP Annotations Plugin in the Result List
• Click Install
• Restart PHPStorm to enable the plugin
