Hello,

Can I export a ready designed BIRT report from a swing based application?
It doesn't matter what application I use to design the report, but after
it is designed it has to be possible to export it from a swing based
application in either RTF or Word Doc format. Is this possible or depends
the exporting runtime of BIRD also on Eclipse/SWT based technologie?

Jorg,

On order to export a report as a RTF or Word Doc, you need an emitter
that supports RTF or Word. At this point the only emitters are for PDF
and HTML. The 2.0 release will add a .CSV emitter, but we do not have
the emitters you are looking for scheduled at this point.

Scott,
I plan to use BIRT from a Swing app too. The Swing UI will be webstarted
with the "data access" and report genetration occuring server-side. The
client will communicate via cajo or Hessian. So I am trying to figure out
the best way to display the report. I could download a PDF or provide a way
to view the report in a browser. I don't thing there currently is a Swing
viewer. Any thoughts?
