Hi,
i am currently working on a chart extension(new chart type), which seems to run fine in ReportDesigner and
in the Birt Example application (org.eclipse.birt.examples.rcpengine.application),
but does not work in the Birt Runtime.
Now having a look on the runtime directories i was wondering, why there is a chartengine.jar in
the lib directory ? Why doesn't it use the chart plugin ? Might that be one of the reasons, why
my chart extension is not working in the runtime ?
First i thought using my extension would lead to somehow wrong rptdesign files, but then the Designer
and the Example Application should't run my report.
Anyone got any ideas ?
Dennis

Hmm it seems that my implementation of TypeFactory defined by Extension point is not even called, when
using birt runtime.
Could it be, that the runtime is not even using the whole plugin mechanism when loading rptdesign file ?
Quite a lot of the plugin jars are located in the lib directory and put into classpath when running
with ReportRunner main class.

Hi Jason,
all UI dependencies are optional already.

Hi,
when remote debugging against the runtime i also noticed, that my
implementation of TypeFactoryImpl.init() does not get called.
I removed all ui classed and ui dependencies from my plugin before exporting it to the runtime.
My plugin.xml now looks like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?eclipse version="3.4"?>
<plugin>
<extension point="org.eclipse.emf.ecore.generated_package">
<package
uri="http://www.bredex.de/birt/RectangleChartModelType"
class="de.bredex.birt.rectangle.chart.model.type.TypePackage"
genModel="rectanglemodel/RectangleType.genmodel"/>
</extension>
<extension point="org.eclipse.emf.ecore.extension_parser">
<parser
type="type"
class="de.bredex.birt.rectangle.chart.model.type.util.TypeResourceFactoryImpl"/>
</extension>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.birt.chart.engine.datapointdefinitions">
<datapointDefinition
definition="de.bredex.birt.rectangle.chart.datafeed.RectangleDataPointDefinition"
series="de.bredex.birt.rectangle.chart.model.type.impl.RectangleSeriesImpl">
</datapointDefinition>
</extension>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.birt.chart.engine.datasetprocessors">
<datasetProcessor
processor="de.bredex.birt.rectangle.chart.datafeed.RectangleDataSetProcessorImpl"
series="de.bredex.birt.rectangle.chart.model.type.impl.RectangleSeriesImpl">
</datasetProcessor>
</extension>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.birt.chart.engine.modelrenderers">
<modelRenderer
renderer="de.bredex.birt.rectangle.chart.render.Rectangle"
series="de.bredex.birt.rectangle.chart.model.type.impl.RectangleSeriesImpl">
</modelRenderer>
</extension>
</plugin>
The funny thing is, i don't even get any errors in configuration/..*.log files.
I seems like report engine doesn't know about my custom types, series etc.
