The dependencies are all correct, but, and that is your problem, they changed between Qt Creator 2.6 and 2.7, making Qt4ProjectManager dependent on QmlJSTools, which you explicitly disabled before.
When you disable something in the plugin dialog of Qt Creator, it interprets that as "force disabling of this plugin" and takes you seriously in that ;)
Maybe it shouldn't take it *that* serious, and interpret it more like "disable the plugin but not if another plugin that is not disabled wants it anyhow".
