I am using the head from CVS

JPG images work ok in PDFs but GIF and PNGs do not:

embedded PNGs as images or background images do not show up in PDFs
URI PNGs as images or background images do not show up in PDFs

embedded GIF as images or background images generate errors in PDFs
URI GIF as images or background images generate errors in PDFs

Thanks for the bug report. Can you file a Bugzilla entry so the team can
keep track of the issue?

Thanks,

- Paul

The problem with PNG images is a result that you do not have JIMI library
from Sun. Due to license issues, BIRT can not ship such a library.

Thanks.

I followed these instructions from Apache
http://xml.apache.org/fop/graphics.html#jimi and copied the JAR file to
org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.fo\lib.

Maybe the FO emitter could attempt to load one of te JIMI classes and log
messages if the JIMI classes are not there.

I will create a Buzgilla report for the problem with GIFs

Why can't BIRT ship the library? The Sun license allows you to do so.

Each third-party jar file that BIRT includes has to be cleared from
Eclipse first. The JIMI jar file failed to clear.

Hello,

I have the same problem using FOP directly in the RCP. The problem is
that Eclipse registers a URL handler for the "image/gif" type. FOP
expects the URL.getContent() to return an ImageProducer instance (from
AWT), whereas the handler from Eclipse returns an InputStream instance
that doesn't implement ImageProducer, and a ClassCastException occurs.
