Qt C++ Eclipse Integration rc1 : a few more little issues
Message 1 in thread
Hi,
Here are another couple of little issues I've encountered with the Qt C++ Eclipse Integration :
- when you add a new class or add files to the project in Eclipse, there's a dialog popping up to confirm the addition of the new files to the .pro file. However even when confirming the changes, the .pro file is not updated until you open it with the visual editor and save it then (the .pro file shows up as dirty when opening it). Opening it with a text editor doesn't show the changes at all.
- The include paths defined for a Qt project only include the QTDIR/include directory, whereas qmake actually uses in addition QTDIR/include/{QtCore,QtGui, etc.}. As the latter ones are missing in the Eclipse project, the indexer can't parse include statements like "#include <QPushButton>" properly, and auto-completion is greatly reduced.
- when using the embedded Designer, the Designer toolbar is sometimes disabled although the widgets on the window have the focus. The window itself has to be clicked to enable the toolbar. Looks more like a Eclipse issue with editors focus though, but maybe this can be tweaked.
- It would be nice to add a Qt Designer perspective when installing the plugin. The perspective would show all the designer views and toolbars in the same layout as the standalone designer. I've done that manually now, but I know this can be done automatically.
- No resource editor in the embedded Designer ??
And finally a general question : is the Eclipse Integration compatible with the recently released CDT 4.0 ? If not yet, will they be compatible eventually or will you need to maintain two separate packages ?

Hi Romain,
I will go through the issues that you posted, today, but the CDT 4.0 question one can be answered, immediately. The QT Eclipse Integration works well (seems to work well, so far) with CDT 4.0. Actually, we did not need to adjust anything for making that happen.
There is only an issue in the Qt Eclipse Integration "Feature": The CDT version requirement there is by fault set in a way that Eclipse is forbidden to update to CDT 4.0 after the Qt Eclipse integration was installed.
The current easy solution is to delete the folder "features/com.trolltech.qtcpp.feature_0.9.0" which is located next to the plugins folder, usually under the eclipse folder. Then Updating to CDT 4 is not blocked, anymore.
This will of course be fixed in the release.
Thanks,
Alessandro

This is already fixed for the final release.

Fixed as well.

We are considering it for a future release, but it won't happen for 1.0.

No, that's on purpose. Designer is an editor for .ui files but not for
.qrc files. For editing .qrc files in Eclipse you should use the qrc
editor, similar to the one in Visual Studio.

It is fully compatible with CDT 4.0.
Thanks for your feedback,
