[Qt-interest] QtCreator Designer Plugins

Hi,

I have created a Qt Designer plugin based on the Creating Custom Widgets for
Qt Designer<http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/designer-creating-custom-widgets.html>
 documentation.

I have set the following in my *.pro file:
target.path =  $$[QT_INSTALL_PLUGINS]/designer
INSTALLS += target

After installing the project/plugin I open QtCreator but my plugin is not
loaded in the integrated designer.
The documentation<http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtcreator-snapshot/adding-plugins.html#locating-qt-designer-plugins>states
that "The integrated Qt Designer fetches plugins from the
%SDK%\bin\designer folder on Windows and Linux" but my SDK installation
directory does not have that structure (have 1.1beta installed on linux). I
have played around a bit and found that the designer loads the plugin from
%SDK%/QtCreator/lib/qtcreator/plugins/designer/

Is there a defined variable, like QT_INSTALL_PLUGINS that points to this
location that I should use in my target.path? I do not want to put an
absolute path, the project is shared by other users.

Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you
