Question about the Qt Eclipse Integration
Message 1 in thread
Hi,
I am wondering if anyone has successfully installed the Qt Eclipse
Integration on windows. When I was trying to use Qt designer in Eclipse,
which I clicked a .ui file, it said some classes had not been registered. I
have no idea about this.
By the way, the integration really works well on Debian :)

Did you try to run "eclipse.exe -clean" ? That helped me several times...

Well, this has nothing to do with your question, but personally i think that
eclipse has loooong way to be prepared for C++&QT development. Last week i
have spend on looking around the different versions of eclipse & cdt/qt
plugins and i have always finished with some unresolved errors, particulary
with embeding designer in eclipse and running qmake. in every version i got
different errors, some of them were caused by improper installation (?),
some by i don't know what. particular problem for me was importing QT
project from CVS repository, where it always happened that it 'forgot' how
to compile the stuff by calling qmake before compilation. I did not manage
to run class viewer under eclipse as well (they claim that it is possible
for cdt4).
The goal of this excersise was for me to replace multiple IDEs (under
windows and linux) by single one. However during tests of eclipse i have
found that it has no value added compare to what I do now (in linux
kdevelop, in windows msvc2005, but there the unofficial plugin has
limitations), because eclipse is remarkably slower on both systems, has
problematic installation and - if you finally make it running, you find that
you miss some nice features (like this classview, or adding new classes in
the way how kdevelop does, problem-less importation of cvs qt projects). I
have also noted much slower compilation (of your application, on linux)
which has sometimes even failed to due 'not enough memory' (!). This was
probably caused by excessive needs of memory from java side (my machines are
equipped with _at least_ 1GB ram!)
so the conclusion for me was that under current conditions it is still not
worth to go for eclipse with this combination of tools. Anyway, under
windows MSVC you have far far better debugging support than in gdb.
perhaps it can help
note: this is not criticism of the tools, i am just expressing my experience
with approximately 2 weeks of testing. I am using some form of eclipse for
developments with altera (NIOS IDE is using eclipse) and there is works
reasonably fine (except that it is deadly slow even on 3GHz machine).
perhaps part of the problems was caused by lack of knowledge from my side

For me it works quite fine taking into account is not a final version.
It works both the compiler integration, the editor with auto completion and
even the debug. I do not know any other ide for windows with mingw and all
of this features. And it works also in Linux. Great!
