I've been trying to find a "nice" reporting tool (engine?) to put over the playframework. After exploring a few options, I've decided to try the BIRT...

Unfortunately i'm finding it impossible to integrate it into the Play on the dependency level !

I added to the /lib directory all BIRT jars (taken from the eclipse plugin folder), compiled, eclipsified (and saw the .classpath was injected with the jars).

but when I try to import say: "org.eclipse.birt.core.*" i'm getting:

[info] Loading project definition from D:\dev\Play\reporting\project
[info] Set current project to reporting (in build file:/D:/dev/Play/reporting/)
[info] About to create Eclipse project files for your project(s).
[info] Compiling 1 Java source to D:\dev\Play\reporting\target\scala-2.9.1\classes...
[error] D:\dev\Play\reporting\app\controllers\Application.java:8: package org.eclipse.birt.core does not exist
[error] import org.eclipse.birt.core.*;
[error] ^
[error] 1 error
[error] {file:/D:/dev/Play/reporting/}reporting/compile:compile: javac returned nonzero exit code
[error] Could not create Eclipse project files:
[error] Error evaluating task 'dependency-classpath': error

on the other hand, tried another jar... like google's collect, and it worked...

What am i doing wrong ?

In general I would recommend to use the dependency-management. See Why is there no Maven repository for Eclipse Birt 3.7 => There is one for Birt 4.2 and Maven repository for BIRT 2.6.0 Are you sure the lib approach work?

  • ThanX for the reply, I dropped the subject for a while but 3 days ago found the answer for BIRT 3.7.2 or 4.2- after putting the "RUNTIME" jars in the lib and tinkering a little with the code - got it running... – Amir Gal-Or Jul 28 '12 at 19:15
