Thanks for the information on Qt Service Framework in Qt 5 Beta Release 2.
So if I'm using Qt 5 Beta Release 2 please tell me where to find Qt Service
Framework now.
Thanks.

There is no Mobility project. That pre-dates Qt 5 and was aborted in
preference to moving those modules into Qt itself.
Service framework remains where it was. Perhaps at some point modules
that aren't part of Qt will be moved around on gitorious and on gerrit
but for now, it's not going anywhere.

This is a signal that it's not supported now. There is no full-time
maintainer for the code and it's not important enough for Digia to put
someone on it. They have less resources than Nokia did and they didn't
get any of the developers responsible for service framework.
However, that doesn't mean it stops working. There are people interested
in it and as long as those people have the time to maintain it, it will
keep working.

Similar concerns have been voiced by people who used other modules that
have been dropped from Qt. I guess the response is the same.
If you are using the code, please ensure you upstream and fixes or
improvements you make. If you want someone else to maintain it, find
someone or pay someone. If you're a commercial customer, leaning on
Digia may help but only if enough people want them to develop it further.
