Description David Michonneau CLA 2007-03-26 09:54:46 EDT 
The chart scripting UI needs to be enhanced (bugzilla 132031) and requires 
changes in the BIRT report model. Here is a summary of the requested changes:

1)	Pass the script name in  getMethods( *scriptName *).( or 
getFunctions(*scriptName*) 
2)	Enhance the IMethodInfo to return JavaDoc.
3)	New constants to indicate the runtime name, like onRender, onCreate, 
onPrepare.

More changes might be needed for auto-completion support.

This feature is under discussion. Implementation will be in RC0.
Comment 3 Rick Lu CLA 2007-04-08 23:22:57 EDT 
Added a new extension point IScriptableObjectClassInfo so that other report item plug-in developers can provide their extension for report item scripting UI.

Meanwhile, provided adapters in api.scripts for scripting UI.
