Hello,
I am trying to build the birt viewer and I am running into a few issues.
I have followed all of the directions on
http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/build/buildInstructions. php, however
the link to Checking out the Data Tools projects does not point to a
valid anchor and there is no information on that page about how to check
out the data tools project or how to integrate the data tools into the
birt viewer.
I copied the org.apache.batik, org.apache,batik.pdf and org.apache.xerces
folders into the build area.
I am using jdk1.4 to build the project. I am using eclipse 3.2.2.
I am attempting to build birt_2_1_3_Release_2007_07_05.
The problems
1) org.eclipse.birt.data.oda does not exist.
When trying to build with the BuildWebViewer.xml ant script, I get an
error saying that it cannot find the org.eclipse.birt.data.oda
directory. After some investigation, I put created that directory and
put the oda.jar from the eclipse plugins directory into that directory.
I then modified the appropriate build files to not attempt to build the
oda.jar file, both in BuildEngine.xml and BuildModel.xml.
2) org.eclipse.birt.report.engine does not exist:
After "resolving" issue #1, I get the compile error:
C:\apps\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.birt.report.engine not found.
(C:\apps is the location of my eclipse runtime install.)
There is no subdirectory with this name in my eclipse install area,
however, there is a
org.eclipse.birt.report.engine_2.1.3.v20070705-1847.jar in the eclipse
plugins directory.
Is there a single information source that has the updated, step-by-step
instructions for building the birt viewer?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Kurt,
Welcome to my nightmare. Here are a few things that I discovered while
doing the build for 2.1.3
1. Copy the org.eclipse.birt.data.oda file/folder from the Eclipse
plugins directory to your workspace directory.
2. When running the BuildWebViewer.xml file be sure to define the
parameters birt.home, dtp.home and eclipse.home. All three should point
to your eclipse install directory. (e.g. C:\Birt-213\eclipse)
I've been able to successfuly build the webview using the
BuildWebViewr.xml. I didn't have to change any of the source but I did
have to create some new directories and copy some missing file into my
project. I don't think the BuildWebViewer.xml file is supported any more
and they don't have any definitive instructions for building Birt.
One caveat to this web viewer is that it is not completely working with
oracle. The viewer that is bundled with the all-in-one eclipse install
is different that what you build from the source. Obviously since you
have to tweak the project just to get it to build the first time.

BuildWebViewer.xml is still supported in 2.1.3.
I think the problem of (2) is you have not checked out
org.eclipse.birt.report.engine in your workspace.
To build web viewer in your workspace, you need to check out batik/xerces
and all BIRT source code into your workspace.
While emf/gef/dtp should be installed in eclipse.home with Eclipse platform.
thanks,
