Finding EngineConfig EngineHome dynamically [message #92339]

so EngineConfig has something like

String engineHome
.....
engineConfig.setEngineHome(engineHome);

I want to calulate where engine home is at runtime
Is there a way to do this using BIRT API?

Was thinking I might need to get the plugin registry and walk it looking
for it that way but hoping there might be a nicer way?

Thanks for any ideas here

Mike,

The call setEngineHome is just setting a System property.
I dont see an accessor in the code.
Could you call System.getProperty?

hmmm possibly, I currently solved this by calulating the location by
inspecting the bundle registry for the birt viewer plugin path. Not sure
if this is the best solution though. I'll make a note to try the
getProperty routine and see if it gives anything useful. Not sure it
will though :D

Thanks Jason for reply!
