RE: [birt-dev] Issue with the Report Designer package
|
Cheng-Yee,
Thanks
for the investigation.
>>the birt-report-framework-*.zip file also include those 2
plugins?
Yes,
agreed that including those 2 DTP plugins would make it more straight-forward
for a BIRT developer.
Later
when the BIRT and DTP ODA integration is stablized, we will include
do-it-yourself instructions for folks to download a DTP milestone build
directly.
In the
meantime, we will work with the Build team to include all needed DTP
plugins in the BIRT report framework's daily build package.

There
seems to be an issue that prevents the BIRT users from consuming the Report
Designer packages (i.e. birt-report-framework-*.zip
file).
I tried downloading and
installing all the necessary underlying components (including Eclipse SDK, EMF, GEF, itext-1.3.jar and prototype.ps files) into an Eclipse
install directory, and then unzipping the birt-report-framework-*.zip file on
top of them. (The build I used were N20060313 and N20060315)
After I kicked off eclipse.exe, I could not find
BIRT's Report Design perspective, nor could I create BIRT report project or
report since they were unavailable in the New Project/Report wizards.
However, when I tried using the
birt-report-designer-all-in-one-*.zip file, I did not see the same problem.
When I compared the 2 configurations, I found the
"all-in-one" package had the following 2 plugins which the other
("do-it-yourself") configuration did not have:
org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.ui
org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity
Once I copied them into the "do-it-yourself" configuration, the earlier
problem went away.
Should the
birt-report-framework-*.zip file also include those 2 plugins? It would seem
to make sense from the consumability's perspective. If this is not the
case, what would be the strategy for handling this?
Thanks,
