BIRT on RTC 3.0 - Missing 'Image Display' plugin


Christophe Lucas (86234948) | asked Jan 14 '11, 9:47 a.m.
I installed BIRT on RTC 3.0:

In RTC 3.0, click Help > Install New Software. Install the following components in order with the given URLs:
1. From http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/updates/releases/ , install the "EMF SDK 2.5.0 (EMF + XSD)" component.
2. From http://download.eclipse.org/datatools/updates , install the "Eclipse Data Tools Platform SDK 1.7.2" component.
3. From http://download.eclipse.org/birt/update-site/2.5 , install the "BIRT 2.5 Reporting SDK" component.

I can design new .rptdesign Reports in RTC Eclipse client, and I can preview them on the 'Preview' tab.

But when I try to run the Report in a Browser, no Image will display - in best Firefox case, I get 'Click here to download plugin', which when clicked gives 'No suitable plugins were found' message.

Any idea what plugin I could be missing ?

In the chart properties dialog, set the image format to PNG.

Thanks Rafik !
Indeed, double-click 'Chart' in the 'Palette' view of the 'Report Design' perspective and on the 'Select Chart Type', bottom-right, change the 'Output Format' from 'SVG' to 'PNG'.
