SVN commit 518702 by pfeiffer:

some eclipse support for Qt/KDE-java
for now:
- launching Designer on .ui files
- auto-building .ui files with juic (work in progress, currently hardcoded /usr/bin/juic)

TODO:
- UI assistance for creating Qt-Java projects (i.e. adding the QtJavaNature to a project, which
adds the juic-builder and the qtjava and kdejava libs to the classpath)
- ILaunchConfigurationDelegate et al for automatically setting -Djava.library.path
- need to find out how to get better completion hints (real argument names instead of "String arg1" etc.)
- completion for signals and slots

Do you mean the arg names in the QtJava .java sources? It uses whatever names
the original C++ args had, and only names them 'arg1' etc if they were
missing. So I'm not sure what we can do about that.

This looks good stuff and I'd like to try it out, but I couldn't get Kubuntu
to work with Eclipse and gcj on my iBook:

OK, so the Java-classes have the right argument names. Eclipse
auto-computes "arg1" etc. when it doesn't have any information, e.g. when the
class files don't have a LocalVariableTable attribute. IIRC I even attached
the source code to koala.jar, but maybe that is not used by Eclipse's
code-completion. Need to investigate that.

Is that the location where the plugins are installed? What's in there? Could
this be some kind of misconfiguration?
