Hello,
We have customized a little the BIRT viewer (new parameter selection, new oda drivers).
So each release of BIRT, we generate a specific viewer includings BIRT plugins.
Our last problems was, that we develop on XP, but most of the targetted server will be Unix like (Linux, AIX).
So we need to recompile and generate a specific distribution on each platform to make charts run ...
SWT use OS's specific libraries (GDI+, GTK).
My explanation is not really exact but ... ;)
To avoid, multiple distributions we used a JVM parameter for awt (when lauching the application server) :
-Djava.awt.headless=true
We discover this tip on jfree.org forum and for the moment it works on each server we deployed.
Hope it helps.

Yes, this setting is indeed needed if you're rendering charts on unix
without X server running. Note that it is relating to Swing and not SWT. The
BIRT viewer will only use swing internally (and some swing classes don't
work without that setting).
Thanks,
David
