Hope this is the right forum to ask this question.

For my project need, I need to start the Eclipse platform and invoke a
plugin (BIRT API) from a EJB? How can I access Eclipse core runtime API
from a EJB? This is to dynamically register a new plugin (in my case it is
BIRT ODA driver) with the IExtensionRegistry.

Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance,
Ravi Chamarthy.

Hi Ravi,

Accessing the core runtime API from an EJB would be tough to do especially
for BIRT where everything is in the webapp; the class loader visibility is
in the wrong direction. Even then I'm not sure if BIRT supports anything
like dynamic deployment. You might still ask on the BIRT list as perhaps
others have run into your same problem and have a good solution.

All I can suggest is that unless your needs are truly dynamic just install
your ODA bundles(s) alongside with BIRT.

EJB integration is possible however has not currently been looked at however
for your use-case you might be better to trigger. That said, it might be
easy enough
