    Description

      1. Launch Qt Creator 2.6.0 rc and choose the Welcome pane.
      2. Click IDE Overview -> Managing projects ->Creating Projects -> Creating Qt Quick Projects
      3. Part of the description text is "You can review Qt Quick UI projects in the QML Viewer and you need not build them."
      ==> The text should be clarified. This text should read something like "You can review Qt Quick UI projects in QML Viewer ( <= QT 4.x ) or using qmlscene ( >= 5.0.0 Beta 1), and you need not build them."

      Similar problematic text also occurs on the Creating Projects page itself: "You can run Qt Quick UI projects in the QML Viewer and you need not build them." This should probably be corrected to be "You can run Qt Quick UI projects in the QML Viewer or qmlscene and you need not build them."

      Reference link http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtquick-porting-qt5.html , which contains the following text:

      "Using qmlscene instead of qmlviewer
      The qmlviewer tool provided for prototyping and testing QML applications in Qt 4.x has been replaced with the qmlscene tool which integrates with the new scenegraph features in Qt 5."
