Hi all:
As you may have noticed, the birt viewer's plug-in folder under
org.eclipse.birt.report.viewer plug-in doesn't contain BIRT plugging
(extensions that implement BIRT extension points). This is a change that we
made in M3 build to avoid copy BIRT plugins to both Eclipse plugin folder
and BIRT viewer plugin folder.
Prior to M3 build, if you are developing a ODA data source extension, you
need to copy it to both locations. This has been one of most frequently
received complains on the BIRT extensions because BIRT developers need to
manually copy the ODA data source plugin to BIRT viewer location to test a
change. With M3 build, you don't have to do this any more because BIRT
viewer can load those plugin from Eclipse plugin folder or the current
workspace if you debug the ODA data sources.
Obviously, the BIRT plugins still need to present if you deploy the BIRT
viewer to an application server. You can get the deployable copy of the
BIRT viewer from BIRT runtime package. If you prefer to build your own copy,
you can use buildWebViewer.xml script under org.eclipse.birt.report.viewer
plugin.
