How to integrate a Qt application into Eclipse as a plugin?

I have a Qt 4.7.x application developed in C+开发者_开发知识库+. This is actually a graphical state machine editor with automatic code generation for embedded systems. When I announced the tool to the embedded community, the first question asked was "does it run in Eclipse?"

So, my questions are:

1. What options do I have? Can I run a C++ GUI application inside Eclipse without any modifications or with minimal modifications?

2. If running without modifications is not an option or is awkward, how do I need to repackage a Qt application to make it run in Eclipse?

3. My Qt application is using dock windows, toolbars, and MDI (multiple document interface). Do I need to adjust the user interface structure for Eclipse and how do I go about it?

4. I am mostly interested in deploying the application on Windows. But my application runs also on Linux and Mac OS X. How do I deploy a native C++ application with Eclipse on these operating systems?

Any specific examples for Qt would be greatly appreciated.

Really what you need to worry about is integrating Qt with the SWT toolkit. They traditionally don't get along too well. There have been a number of different attempts to make Java and Qt cooperate, and a smaller number to make Qt and AWT cooperate, and the tiniest number of all to make Qt and SWT cooperate. Still, there are a few things you can look at that could serve as a foundation for your project. Perhaps the most promising is SWT/Qt, which is a project to build a Qt-based SWT implementation. The last I looked at it, it really wasn't a realistic option, but it's been very active since.
