What is the recommended or best way to install BIRT for RTC 4.0.6
Hello,
I have been trying to install BIRT for some time now, and it's still tricky at best.
Unfortunately :
1/ the versions listed and file names do not match (EMF : 2.6.2 or 2.9.2 ? Same for GEF)

Hi Yannick,
I don't know if the inforcenter is correct or not. But in my RTC 4.0.4 Eclipse client (also based on Eclipse 3.6.2, which is same as RTC 4.0.6) I installed EMF 2.6.2 and GEF 3.6.2. You can also install BIRT and dependencies from Helios Update Site http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios. Comments

Hello, Thanks for your answer, I will try the Helios update site. It would be convenient to have up-to-date documentation; I have seen several posts on the web which emphasize that you need a specific version of BIRT, sio I tried to stick to what is written.

Well, helios update does install BIRT, but no perspective shows up. Same problem already reported on this forum (question 146677). :-((

Well, applying the online help instructions, but with the DTP EMF etc. versions listed on the BIRT 2.6.2 page seems to work. Not yet fully tested, though. |
Hi Yannick,
This is a scenario which I usually do: 1. Install Eclipse helios with BIRT embedded from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/helios/sr2 2. Use following technote to install required additional plug-ins: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21502374 3. Install RTC client using P2 installer. It always works for me. Let me know whether you have any problems with that order. Comments

Hello, thank you for answering. As I wrote above, I managed to get one install to work, I will test it further and will try your method if needed. I was curious about item # 2, but could not open the link, even when logged in at IBM. Does it work for you ?
