[Qt-interest] Eclipse Integration for custom widget plugins

[majo huber]

Hi at all,

I just wanted to share my solution to the problem:
All you need to do is to recompile the qt framework with the following
switches:
./configure -release -qtnamespace QtCppIntegration -qtlibinfix CppIntegration
So you'll get a special qt toolchain for building eclipse plugins. Be
aware that the qt version that was used to build the eclipse
integration must match your new toolchain version.
Everything is mentioned here but in a form that could be misunderstood:

Cheers,
majo
