Hi, we need to determine a convenient platform for developing a commercial image processing desktop application. You can think of it as a Photoshop-like application. 

As an image-processing application, project requires Runtime-efficiency(speed and memory management). This requirement points to use C++, so QT for user interface.
Plugin support requirement will be a critical issue for our application. 3rd parties will be able to add new functionalities to the application, for instance, a new image filter would be added as a submenu.
We need to have a stable Plugin Architecture. Eclipse RCP(Rich Client Platform) is said to be a ready to use platform. But it will force us to code with Java if we want to develop in RCP platform.

According to me, Qt is more convenient, but I dont know how to design and implement a RCP-like architecture using Qt. We have not QT experience, but we have c++ knowledge. What we want to know is, would it be easy to build a stable plugin architecture like Java-Eclipse RCP, in QT. We need some information and advices. We have to make a decision in next few days.To be able to convince my friends, I have to demonstrate the built-in plugin architecture support in Qt.

I made a search on google and look for a sample application having a plugin host project with Qt. But could not find any example. 
Any idea is highly appreciated.
