Hi, Just a thumbs up for the Qt C++ Eclipse Integration, I've been crossing my fingers for it to happen back at the early Jambi TP days (where the Eclipse integration was more a C++ one than a Java one), looks like my prayers have been answered :-) I love the .pro integration, really works well, and doesn't even screw up the .pro files when editing both with a text editor and adding/removing files from Qt :-) (VS Integration is terrible in that aspect). It just tends to eat away empty lines in the .pro files, but I can live with that I guess. I appreciate the Qt reference docs integration too. However, I think it could still be improved, in particular towards integrating it with the help indexer and the dynamic help features. For example the search feature is not really helpful, since it spits out pages mentionning support members of a class before the class description itself (sometimes far down the list of results). However I guess these are shortcomings of Eclipse itself and not yours. I wonder if this can be tweaked in any way. Ideally what I'd like to have would be the same index feature as Assistant and the VS integration have: you type the class/method/enum name and the index shows the results as you type, then go to the right page when you hit enter. Also, having the feature of hitting F1 over a symbol in the text editor to open the corresponding help page would be a killer (or even better, directly within the editor, like Shift+F1 for javadoc with Java files). Is it something you're working on for the final release ? I don't know what freedom you have with respect to the Eclipse help system and integration API , but I hope this is possible to achieve.

Hi Romain, Thanks for jumping in with the POST_TARGETDEPS, and thank you for the appreciation towards the Qt C++ Eclipse Integration :) We are aware of the fact that the current Qt C++ Reference in Eclipse could be much more useful if those connections to the current code editing context were there. The Eclipse Java Development Tools show us how nicely it could be done, and that happens most certainly in harmony to what Eclipses API gives us. So, we believe that it is possible, but we did not investigate how deep we would have to dig in order to do that for C++. Implementing that for the Qt C++ Reference is not scheduled for Version 1 of the plugin, we try to have the current features working first, but that feature is certainly on our plate.
