[Qt-creator] Qt Creator plugin API question

[Aleksey Kontsevich]

Hi Eike,

I see there is no documentation about QtSupport namesapce or QtKitInformation?

Also it is not clear how to get other information like:
- compiler
- debugger
- target platform
- make system (qmake, qbs, cmake, etc)

Could You provide more info please? Thanks!

This data source gather information about compilers, platforms, target platforms, debuggers, etc used by a QtC user. I've found ProjectExplorer Namespace documentation (https://doc-snapshots.qt.io/qtcreator-extending/projectexplorer.html#namespaces) with classes which contains this information however documentation is still very poor and there are very many classes so it is not quite clear which one to use, how to use and how they are connected to each other. So question is:
