Tested with GUI tools (see tutorial on wiki:

http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ktechlab/index.php?title=Coding_with_KDevelop

) and it works well. It generated the .desktop files from .desktop.in files,
and i was able to run unit tests and also open circuit documents.


I did a little trick to find out the plugin version. If this works, I will

Looks good ;)
