The plugin still uses a .pluginspec.in file for specifying meta data, which we got rid of in something like Qt Creator 3.3. Nowadays plugins need to specify all their meta data in .json(.in) files directly (which were auto generated, but only barely sufficient for Qt 5’s plugin system before Qt Creator 3.3) Br, Eike -- Eike Ziller Principal Software Engineer The Qt Company GmbH Rudower Chaussee 13 D-12489 Berlin [email protected] +123 45 6789012 http://qt.io Geschäftsführer: Mika Pälsi, Juha Varelius, Tuula Haataja Sitz der Gesellschaft: Berlin, Registergericht: Amtsgericht Charlottenburg, HRB 144331 B _______________________________________________ Qt-creator mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator
