Can I use Eclipse Cpp to run and debug QT Cpp GUI code?

[ElfMoon]

Eclipse Cpp has great auto formatting code, that means code display in Eclipse Cpp is more beautiful than in other IDE like QT Creator.
Im using Eclipse for Java and I see Eclipse auto formatting code feature is great.
Can I use Eclipse Cpp to run and debug QT Cpp GUI code?
How to import QT library to Eclipse Cpp?
And one more question: which is better QT 5.15.2 (I download it from 2020) and QT 5.12 in https://www.qt.io/offline-installers
My Laptop is using Windows 8.1 and QT 6.4 dont have support for Windows 8.1.
Old version QT 5.15.2 cannot be downloaded anymore...

Yes

How to import QT library to Eclipse Cpp?

Just like you import any other Makefile project. Maybe there is a qmake/cmake plugin for Eclipse which you can use.

If I remember correctly, Eclipse had a plugin for Qt, but very old and it is not maintained anymore. Better to use Qt Creator. Eclipse is written in Java and pretty slow. Qt Creator is a better choice for Qt apps.

QT Creator developers please improve feature code auto-formatting for LTS QT 5.12. My Laptop run on Windows 8.1 so I cant run QT Creator 6.4.
Please look at Eclipse and Visual Studio code auto-format feature, their feature is perfect to beautify code.

This is a user forum. Qt company's developers do not visit here. If you want to speak to them you should use the Qt developers' list or bug site.

Don't know what a Qt version has to do with a QtCreator version but you can set a custom auto-formatter like e.g. clang-format with your own ruleset.
