AW: [Qgis-developer] New Plugin builder

Great work and very very helpful for plugin developement. 

I found out one issue in conjunction with QT-Designer. When I open the
generated *.ui file with QT-Designer and save the file then the
UI-Classname is not set correct. P.e. when you call a class myTestClass
you will get a UI_myTestClass.ui with the corresponding class name. Open
the file with QT-Designer add a push button and save the dialog, the
dialog class is renamed in UI_Dialog but not the file of course. As the
result the plugin throws an error message "class not found". To solve
the problem you have to rename the dialog inside of QT-Designer from
Dialog to your desired class name.

Betreff: [Qgis-developer] New Plugin builder

I have created a web-based tool to build a minimal QGIS Python plugin.

Basically you specify the required parameters and it creates a ready  
to run plugin with an blank dialog. The tool compiles the resource and  
Ui files and packages it all up into a zip file for download.

You can try the builder at: http://pyqgis.org/builder/plugin_builder.py

The zip file contains a Makefile which can be used to recompile the Ui  
and resource files if you change them. The builder uses Qt 4.4,  
however the generated plugin should work on any QGIS 1.0 install.

If you've been wanting to develop QGIS plugins but didn't know where  
to start, this tool can get you started quickly by setting up the  
structure for you.

Comments and suggestions are welcomed.
