    Description

      qtdeclarative in 5.15 currently contains following tools:

      qml
      qmlcachegen
      qmleasing
      qmlformat
      qmlimportscanner
      qmljs
      qmllint
      qmlmin
      qmlplugindump
      qmlpreview
      qmlprofiler
      qmlscene
      qmltestrunner
      qmltyperegistrar

      Some of them do serve a very similar purpose

      • qml, qmlpreview, qmlscene are all used to render/preview a .qml file
      • qmlformat, qmllint, qmlmin all format .qml files

      Can some of them unified/dropped in Qt 6?
