After fiddling around a couple of hours to get my old version up...
i downloaded the latest version of birt (4.4) and will start from scratch.

i need to integrate both, birt viewer and designer into an RCP application.
i found the 'birt-rcp-report-designer-4_4_0-20140611' build on Birt webpage, which is nice, but i did not find a tutorial yet, how to get there.

so what do i need to get started? (i need an update site for the libaries, so i grabbed 'birt-updatesite-4_4_0-20140611')
but which (minimal set of) plugins do i need to get the designer running (and viewer)?

and finally i need to create a 'Custom Java report generator', which is mentioned like three times on the webpage, but i was not able to find an example by search&google (point me if you know one)

Thanks in Advance
Ludwig

NOTE: in the update site, it still says

BIRT 4.2 Charting SDK
BIRT 4.2 Engine OSGi Runtime SDK
BIRT 4.2 Reporting SDK
Birt 4.2 WTP Integration SDK

(whereat the version numbers are 4.4 inside...

Hi Ludwig,

I'm new to BIRT. I downloaded birt-rcp-report-designer-4_4_0 too, but I can't open the application. The program keep showing message about not found jre/jdk path. Have you ever experienced this ? Or do you know how to configure these paths ? Please check my attached screenshot and help me with this.

Thank in advanced
