Integrating BIRT into an RCP Application [message #91922]

I have a simple RCP in which I am trying to integrate the BIRT reporting
functionality. However, I do not want any BIRT related toolbar or menu
actons to be contributed to my application. What are the required
libraries to run BIRT and not contribute to the Eclipse GUI? If all are
required, how do I hide BIRT GUI contirbutions?

Look on this page
http://www.eclipse.org/birt/index.php?page=deploy/engine.htm l
At the bottom is an Ant project that shows all the libs. In addition to
these libs, you will also need your db lib. Note this project was for BIRT
1.0.1. If you are going to use 2 M2, download the Report Engine
http://download.eclipse.org/birt/downloads/
and it has the required libs in it. Keep in mind that you will also need
your db driver as well.
There is a command line example on how to run the Engine in this download.
It had a bug that not all the required libs where there, but this was fixed
yesterday and should be in the nightly build from last night.

I also want to use BIRT as a part of my RCP application. I want to run
generation of report when activate action in view.
So I've read this post and have copied all of the libs & have used code of
RunReport as a example during coding my action. But when I running my
programm I have error during execute ReportEngine engine = new
ReportEngine( config );:
Unhandled event loop exception

Reason:

java.lang.NullPointerException

I took source of Birt and find that problem is with running line:
extensionMgr = ExtensionManager.getInstance() in ReportEngineHelper, which
is caused by line
IExtensionPoint extPoint =
registry.getExtensionPoint(EXTENSION_POINT_GENERATION); in ExtensionManager.

When I used RunReport as separeted program everything is OK.

Could someone explain what is wrong?

Thanks,

Anak
