Okay, I've looked a bit at the newsgroup and I have looked at the
readme.html that comes with the org.eclipse.birt.chart.examples_2.0.1
plugin, but it still isn't really clear to me *how* to run the examples.
It gives some instruction for the VM arguments, but it doesn't say
*how* to run them. I would like to just run the exampls from Eclipse
(3.1.1) but I'm not sure how. If anyone could give some pointers, I
would very much appreciate it.
Thanks,
Keith

Select the class you want to run in the Package Explorer of Eclipse.
Click on Run... in the Run menu
Select Java Application in the tree on the left
Click on the first icon on the toolbar over the tree (with a + in it)
This should automatically fill the Main class (otherwise you can click
search and it will show a list of main classes to choose from)
Go to Arguments tab and set your arguments
Click on Run
Let me know if you have any further question,
Thanks,
David

I have no toolbar over the tree, just a New button and a Delete button.
When I right click the class and choose Run As > ... I only have
options for JUnit Plugin Test or JUnit Test. Eclipse just doesn't seem
to want to recognize that there is a main() there. I installed the
.....chart.examples plugin from the .zip file for the standalone charts.
I then imported it into my workspace using the Import > External
Plugins and Fragments selecting to import Projects with source folders.
Is this part of my problem? There were not any instructions anywhere
(that I noticed) that tell me how to install the chart examples. I saw
that there was a plugin with examples which fortuitously does *not* come
with the alleged *full* install of BIRT, so I had to download the
"charts only" zip. Anyway, I appreciate the help, but a little more
would be, well, helpful.
Thanks,
Keith

Okay, I managed to delete my imported plugin and then checked out the
proper (I hope) version from CVS. It now tries to run the class
(SwtChartViewerSelector) but I get the following error:

So that would be the "New" button. I use Eclipse 3.2, maybe this UI was
slightly modified. So first select Java Application in the tree, and then
click on New.
Regarding your other comment, do you think it makes more sense to ship the
chart examples with the main BIRT package, rather than only in the chart
package?
I think the way you installed the plugin looks fine, that shouldn't be the
problem. Is it recognized as a Java Project? (there is a small J on the
project icon)
Thanks,
David

Ok, so for SWT code, there are two choices:
1- You need to copy the swt libs in your environment path.
These are the swt*.dll files, I think there are four of them. This is a
requirement for running SWT-based code. If you use windows, you can copy
them under windows directory for instance.
2- Alternatively you can choose "SWT application" instead of "Java
Application" in the Run tree. This should automatically find the SWT libs.
Thanks,

Thank you for the help. That seemed to do the trick.

I think the examples ought to be shipped where they make sense. They
should be included with the charts, wherever the charts are included.
If the charts are included with BIRT, then the examples ought to be
included as well.
Please excuse my ranting and raving. I'm sure I don't mean to be rude,
I guess I just felt like the whole installation process is a bit of a
mess (to me). It would have been much easier (for me, but also probably
for others) to just go to the Software Updates and Search for new
features to install, then pick BIRT, Charts, Chart examples, etc. I
guess I feel like Eclipse has this terrific built in feature that
doesn't seem to be used nearly enough. I don't know all the reasons why
it doesn't get used more often, but it just seems like it would be a
good idea. I suppose my real gripe is just that the installation
instructions are vague and ambiguous and leave the user to wander in the
dark by him/herself for a while. At least we have the newsgroups where
we can get helpful tips from people (like you) who are patient with
freaks (like me).
