Missing "Go to slot..." option in the Eclipse plugin

[cloud]

Hi all,

we're working with QT on Linux on Ubuntu 9.04.

We noticed that the "Go to slot..." option is missing in the Eclipse plugin, while it still exists on QT Creator.

Since we are building a whole development environment to promote QT among customers, this feature would be particularly important...

Does anybody know why this feature is missing and how it can be enabled ?

Any comment and explanation will be very appreciated.

Many thanks.

It's most likely because such functionality would require access to the appropriate class source code, and then add the members to the header and main code. Considering Qt Creator has a full C++ parser built in, this is likely much easier to do under that environment.

As long as you know the slot name, you can work around it by using Eclipse features to add a member to a class. They will be automatically connected at runtime if they are named appropriately.
