Bernhard,

If you're getting that when you use the preview function from the top menu
(as opposed to the preview tab in the design area), it may be that you
haven't included the Java bin directory in your path. BIRT includes an
embedded version of Apache Jakarta Tomcat for previewing reports and
Tomcat's JSP engine requires a Java compiler.

For my (default) installation of version 1.4.2_08 of the Java SDK on
windows, here's what I added to get things working:

C:\j2sdk1.4.2_08\bin

Of course, you also need to have installed the JDK in the first place as
noted in the install instructions.

regards,

Mark

bernhard,

Can you please let us know the error msg from the Tomcat. The error log
locates at "Elcipse Home\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.tomcat\"
