Hi Alain,

Qml Runtime plugins should be placed into the 'bin' directory of Qt 
Creator. That is, to make e.g. the webkit.org plugin available inside Qt 
Creator (and therefore Quick Designer), you have to copy following files 
from $QTDIR/imports:

   $CREATORDIR/bin/org/webkit/webkitqmlplugin.dll
   $CREATORDIR/bin/org/webkit/qmldir

Note that these files must be compiled with exactly the same compiler / 
configuration (debug vs release) as Qt. Having the files there should 
ensure that Quick Designer is able to instantiate the WebView element 
when it encounters it.

Anyhow, we also have a _Quick Designer_ plugin mechanism, which is 
independent from the qml runtime plugin mechanism. With this one, you 
can e.g. configure that items are shown in the Quick Designer Library. 
If you want to use this, too, you have to generate yet another library 
that has to be placed under $CREATORDIR/lib/qmldesigner. Primary example 
for this is the fxplugin (src/plugins/qmldesigner/fxplugin).

Hope this helps,

Kai
