Eclipse IDE and Birt is fine but... [message #798995] Wed, 15 February 2012 05:09 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hi,

i am able to run the report designer in my ide.
but when i export my rcp application birt does not get "exported"
although i added all org.eclipse.birt plugins on my target platform
i can still not switch to "org.eclipse.birt.report.designer.ui.ReportPerspective"

tried all on default.
also tried to autostart the core and the report.designer.ui but then i run into exceptions.
installing birt into the rcp ide was easy, exporting my application drives me crazy.

iff there is a document how to do it let me know.

note: the viewer works! its the designer that does not work (yet)

iff i open the file in my rcp in the resource explorer
i get the information that the content type is not assigned BUT it opens without any errors in the editor! so the file is correct...

ok finally i got the designer running too, and i am able to switch to the designer perpective programmatically
but when i try to open an rptdesign file (located somewhere outside the workspace in a directory) by code
i run into exceptions

here is the code to open the editor:
final File file = new File(staticReport);
		SwitchPerspective.to(birtReportPerspective); // switch to the correct perspective
		IWorkbenchPage page = getActivePage();
		IEditorInput input = new IEditorInput() {

			@Override
			public Object getAdapter(Class adapter) {
				return file;
			}

			@Override
			public String getToolTipText() {
				return "Generated Template Report " + file.getAbsolutePath();
			}

			@Override
			public IPersistableElement getPersistable() {
				return null;
			}

			@Override
			public String getName() {
				return file.getName();
			}

			@Override
			public ImageDescriptor getImageDescriptor() {
				return null;
			}

			@Override
			public boolean exists() {
				System.out.println(file.getAbsolutePath() + " exists = "
						+ file.exists());
				return file.exists();
			}
		};
		try {
			page.openEditor(input,
					"org.eclipse.birt.report.designer.ui.editors.ReportEditor");
		} catch (Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}

and here the exception:

so after this failed i tried to create a project in my workspace "External Files" and add a link to the external file so i can create an ifile from that by:

public IFile getIFile(String fileName) {
		IWorkspace ws = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace();
		IProject project = ws.getRoot().getProject("External Files");
		try {
			if (!project.exists()) {
				project.create(null);
			}
			if (!project.isOpen()) {
				project.open(null);
			}
		} catch (CoreException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		IPath location = new Path(fileName);
		IFile file = project.getFile(location.lastSegment());
		try {
			file.createLink(location, IResource.FILE, null);
		} catch (CoreException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		return file;
	}


still resolves to a nullpointer.
any ideas?

can you not put the file in the workspace?
