[Qt-creator] QtCreator Extensions Documentation

[Riitta-Leena Miettinen]

Hello,

We have a Qt Creator developer's guide that is published online in documentation snapshots:

http://doc-snapshots.qt.io/qtcreator-extending/creating-plugins.html

There is also some class documentation available in the guide:

http://doc-snapshots.qt.io/qtcreator-extending/qtcreator-api.html#plugins 

The guide is a work in progress, but hopefully it helps. As described in the docs, you can use a wizard to generate the files needed for a basic plugin.

Best regards,


Leena Miettinen

> I’m really a big fan of the QtCreator in preference over any of the Java-based
> IDEs, but I find it rather difficult to develop a good plugin, since there seems
> to be no documentation at all. Currently the only way is to look at the source
> code of other plugins, which isn’t that great. It really slows down the
> development process.
