Steps To Reproduce:
1/ I have try to develop my own birt plugin for adding a custom report item.
I do the same thing that the rotated Label sample downloaded here :

http://www.actuate.com/products/prod...rticleId=11719

I would like to add the Binding Tabname in my plugin in order to access data from a datasource in the method :

public Object onRowSets(IRowSet[] rowSets) throws BirtException
{
...
}

But I didn't know how can I add the binding tabname ?

Anybody can help me ?

I have only one tabname which is Properties

2/ - I suceed to add the binding page property in my report item plugin
- But know I would like to get the data from my dataset

Anybody has already develop a report item plugin ?

I have to do like the chart report item plugin but there is a lot of file source and I don't know where to look at ...

The only sample I have found is the rotatedText report item sample ... but this sample has no data binding ...

3/ I have boughgt the book Integrating and extending birt but there is no more information for data binding 

4/ I have post a message in the birt forum
