I'm a tad new to qt and so far I really only added qwt; but I was wondering, what are some other useful qt plugins? And is there a list somewhere?
Thanks in advance.
you could try http://www.libqxt.org/ and http://medieninf.de/qmapcontrol/
For me, one of the useful Qt plugin was wwWidgets. Also, as I needed zip/unzip functions in one of my projects, QuaZIP - Qt/C++ wrapper for ZIP/UNZIP package helped me a lot!
Don't use it before, but QCA is one of the things I want to test.
Good luck!
The Common Toolkit ( CTK ).
Here is an image gallery.
Have a look at inqlude. It lists a pretty decent number of available 3rd party Qt components and add-ons.
Besides these, there are also some commercial components available, like the ones from Developer Machines (Ribbon, DataGrid, etc.) and KDAB (Soap, Report, Chart).

Please give me peace of advice. I would like to create some kind of audio-video player with some original functionality. But the problem is I'm not sure which multimedia framework to use. I tried to use Phonon but it has some bugs and for some reason it doesn't support many file formats (maybe I just don't know how to use it properly). So I'm thinking maybe some other mediaframework would be better. Maybe I'm wrong. I can use only LGPL license.
Thanks in advance
Check out Google for "qt vlc". That might give you a starting point.
Like the above user said, vlc is a good option.
Another good option would be GStreamer. Although it isn't qt-specific (it's rather Gnome-y actually), it's a pretty decent multimedia framework, and its documentation is (in my humble opinion) superior to vlc's.
Check them out at: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/
Is there any opensourse, free set of components for creating Flex mxml graphs?
like aviary Peacock style ones
(source: peacockwiki at sites.google.com)
with at least Drag, drop, and connect generators
so each graph element could have
(source: peacockwiki at sites.google.com)
or something like that.
Framework should be opensource (like GPL, LGPL etc)
BTW: I found one wary bacic made by Erno Aapa with Degrafa but I would really love to see something much more Flex 4 - mxml oriented and frienfdly.
So blog articles, Google code projects, anything - please help
I don't have a specific answer for you; but just some places to go look.
Have you looked at the Advanced Charting and Visualization package from Adobe? They are part of the open source SDK with the release of Flex 4.
You already mentioned Degra. I understood that Degrafa stands for Declarative Graphics. I'm surprised you'd say it is not MXML friendly.
Have you looked at Axiss? It is another project out there, and I believe it relies heavily on Degrafa.
You said open source, but didn't say free. So, I believe source code is available if you purchase a license to iLog. I'm not sure about FusionCharts, but I've heard very positive things about it from other Flex Developers.
Moccasin and Flex Wires combined should get you most of the way there.
i am new to QT, i don't have any knowledge about it.
from scratch i need to learn, if you people have some tutorials or some technical blogs please
feel free to share with me..
i have seen some stuffs in troltech, tell me any thing else apart from it.
Thanks
Trolltech documentation is great.
I can also suggest having a look at the independant tutorial.
There are also some great books about Qt. My favourite is C++ Gui programming with Qt.
Check out also these websites : Qt Forum and Qt Center.
This book is nice to start with Qt (Assuming you know c++)

Anybody out there who had developed plugins for eclipse?
I am using eclipse for last 4-5 years and am just thinking about developing some plugins for eclipse. I dont know anything about that, like how its written and all. If someone who has experience on this can show light over that, it would be great. Some really good tutorials or links or any useful articles will do.
Cheers,
PK
this might help you have a look
http://www.vogella.de/articles/EclipsePlugIn/article.html
and for breif you can go here too
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-ecplug/
Here is one more tutorial: http://eclipsepluginsite.com/
You can start from creating a sample eclipse plugin project. You could also use their plugin-spy (Alt-Shift-F1) to gain insight into any screen. You can start from your first plugin.
Also have a look at the sample code that is generated by creating a new project using the various plug-in wizards.
Some requirements:
Step-by-step debugging & Break Points
View variable values while debugging
IntelliSense (auto-completion). Ideally done with "smarts" so it only shows you the syntactically valid options to complete something. E.g., Textbox. would trigger members of that class (.Text, .BackColor), etc. And then Textbox.BackColor= would trigger a list of valid colors.
Drag'n Drop style GUI design.
I'm not concerned about cost (Ok, over $1K gets a little pricey looking :-)
Step by step debugging with variable view (and often with additional views like stack or global variables etc) is working in some IDEs. FlexBuilder, FDT3 Enterprise (only the enterprise version allows debugging), FlashDevelop (with extra plug-in). You can also try the (free!) Visual Studio plug-in Tofino (Ensemble), so you can debug inside Visual Studio.
But the best implementation for debugging I found in the Eclipse based IDEs. I'm not much impressed with FDT3 at all, so I recommend FlexBuilder for debugging (+profiling) and of course coding of AS and eventually (visual) design for MXML.
You can try FlashDevelop with the FDB plug-in. Many people prefer this free IDE for coding because of the nice code assist (IMHO the best of all known IDEs). Debugging is working with this plug-in but I wouldn't say that is the "most productive". But give it a try, its free!
There are only 2 I know:
Flex Builder
IntelliJ Idea
I was interested in the comments on debugging above. I am one of the developers of the Amethyst Flex/AIR IDE for Visual Studio. We are very keen to have the best Flex debugging available so I would appreciate any feedback to help us achieve this.
The current beta of Amethyst has breakpoints, watch variables, locals, call-stack, step-into/step-out/step-over plus drilldown expansion in the debugging windows or in hovering debug tips in the code editor. There's a small movie showing a few debugging features of Amethyst here:
http://www.sapphiresteel.com/Debugging-Adobe-Flex-Applications
Shortly we will add more features (e.g. tracepoints and conditional breakpoints). But if there are any features we've missed, now would be a good time to tell us ;-)

I've used them all and I can say without a doubt IntelliJ is the most powerful of them all.
http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/features/flex_ide.html
It also is the best JS IDE, and unless you are using .NET on the back end it is probably the best IDE for your back end language. These guys really have it going on.
FlashDevelop from FlashDevelop.org is another free editor that appears to be gaining momentum. It's windows-only but seems to be pretty feature rich.
Netbeans also has a plugin called FlexBean. But by now isn't powerful.
How about SapphireSteel Amethyst Personal Edition? It's based on VS.
Quite a few prominent Flex+Flash developers swear by FDT
It's an Eclipse plugin, and it's probably the most expensive Flex development tool out there, but it's very good.
Flex Builder. And BONUS you can get it for FREE if you are a teacher or student.
From the discussion above, below is the list of IDEs for Flex with debugging support
Powerflasher FDT
Amethyst
Adobe Flash Builder
IntelliJ IDEA (Ultimate Edition)
Flash Develop
