What you ask is probably impossible and it doesn't make much sense either. First off, as already stated, build scripts tend to be quite complex and quite diverse. The IDE could possibly only understand very simple scipts. These build scripts are basically like any arbitrary scripts - you simply cannot ask IDE to understand the purpose of each file in arbitrary scripting language. This even applies to qmake scripts once they get complex. The IDE can only get you started somewhat - it can generate the basic structure of build files based on some templates and heuristics. But from that point on, you're on your own. It seems to me that in all your requests you are basically asking for an IDE that would enable you to develop C++ exactly the same way you are used to develop Java. I'm afraid that's not going to happen since C++ is not Java. Quite frankly, I'd much rather see QtC developers dealing with stuff that _really_ matters, such as integrating Clang and/or implementing C++11 code model features, et cetera, instead of turning QtC into a NetBeans or Eclipse clone ;-) It's one of the reasons I like QtC - unlike Eclipse it's not bloated, it stays KISS. ~Vojtech Kral _______________________________________________ Qt-creator mailing list Qt-creator@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator
