Hi,
when i create a report with report designer in eclipse, and i select from
file menu -preview as pdf- the only message i get is Error happened while
running the report

is this a known issue or i'm doing something wrong? I'm using birt version
2_0_1

thanx Hans

This should work. Did you copy the iText jar to the PDF emitter plugin?

thanks jason,
now i found the real problem: how can i configure that eclipse uses my local
tomcat installation? In Window/Preferences/BIRT/Preview Server i can set
localhost and as port 8080 (my local tomcat) but it doesn't work.
is there anything else i have to do?

I dont think that is currently possible. The prefernces are still for the
internal Tomcat plugin.
You can download the Report Engine download which contains a Birt Web Viewer
to deploy to your
Tomcat.
