Bug Description

Binary package hint: qtcreator

installing the QtCreator package I get these plugins about qml:
$ dpkg -L qtcreator | grep plugin | grep Qml | grep ".so"
/usr/lib/qtcreator/plugins/Nokia/libQmlJSEditor.so
/usr/lib/qtcreator/plugins/Nokia/libQmlProjectManager.so

libqmldesigner.so is missing so there is no way to edit the qml files using the designer.

The QML designer plugin requires private Qt headers. They aren't stable and not installed by the Qt package.
So we can't build the plugin until it uses stable interfaces.

Thank you Felix for your answer.

Here two quotes from qt labs:

"Qt Quick support is in this branch still marked “experimental”, albeit it should now mostly “just work”. On popular request, Qt Creator 2.0.1 ships with the QML visual editor which can be used for simple QML files, but needs to be explicitly enabled."

"With the release of Qt Creator 2.1 in the fourth quarter of this year, you will get access to a built out set of tooling to make the Qt Quick experience much richer and easier – completing the picture. Snapshots of Qt Creator 2.1 will be made available shortly."

You'll find the full post here:

and here:

I just hope QtCreator will be updated to 2.1.x when trolls will release it.

thank you again for your time.
