Setting up BIRT for RTC
I'm trying to install BIRT in order to create reports within RTC, but I'm having some trouble. Here are the steps I have taken:
-Downloaded BIRT All-In-One v.2.5.2 (the individual downloads of BIRT, DTP, EMF, and WTP are not available to us, nor is the Eclipse SW update mechanism, but this All-In-One package says that these dependencies are all included) http://download.eclipse.org/birt/downloads/build.php?build=R-R1-2_5_2-201002221500 -Extracted contents of package -Copied the contents of the extracted plugins directory into C:\Program Files\jazz\client\eclipse\dropins -Restarted RTC I'm now able to select Window -> Open Perspective -> Other... -> <Report>. However, the option to create a new Report is still not available under the File menu. (I looked under File -> New -> Other as well.) What am I missing in setup/configuration? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! |

This is really an Eclipse site issue. The best the RTC reporting team can do is to may be post the missing EMF, DTP... packages in one of our wikis.

This is really an Eclipse site issue. The best the RTC reporting team can do is to may be post the missing EMF, DTP... packages in one of our wikis. Thank you for your reply. The individual downloads are not missing from the Eclipse site - I apologize if my wording made it sound that way. They are there, but for various reasons, I need to use the all-in-one package rather than the individual downloads of each dependency (DTP, EMF, WTP). I assume the all-in-one download (v2.5.2) would work since it includes all of the required dependencies. So my question is, what are the BIRT installation steps when doing a manual installation/extraction rather than using the software update mechanism in Eclipse? Which files need to be moved to which directories in the RTC setup? I've read that we should create a "dropins" directory, but I don't know exactly which files should be put there. I tried putting everything from the all-in-one package in that folder, but it obviously didn't work since I still don't have a 'New -> Report' menu option in RTC. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide. I appreciate it! |

Try the following folder structure:
eclipse ...dropins ......birt .........eclipse ......dtp .........eclipse ......emf .........eclipse . . . where the eclipse folders under birt, dtp, emf, etc... are the result of unzipping the component packages downloaded from eclipse.org. |
