BiRT 4.5.0 runtime Platform.createFactoryObject returns null [message #1727188]

Hey all, in trying to update my application from using the BiRT 4.4.2 runtime, to 4.5.0 (now that the Maven entry for 4.5.0 is finally fixed...8 months later), and I am having some issues and not sure why.

In trying to get my IReportEngineFactory object from Platform.createFactoryObject, I am getting a null.

The code I have for that is:

EngineConfig config = new EngineConfig();

//Create ReportEngine
Platform.startup(config);

IReportEngineFactory factory = (IReportEngineFactory) Platform.createFactoryObject(IReportEngineFactory.EXTENSION_REPORT_ENGINE_FACTORY);

IReportEngine engine = factory.createReportEngine(config);

My pom.xml has this:

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.eclipse.birt.runtime</groupId>
	<artifactId>org.eclipse.birt.runtime</artifactId>
	<version>4.5.0a</version>
</dependency>

And the BiRT runtime is in my classpath for my project.

Any suggestions?

Sorry, didn't see there were replies till just now. No progress, reverted back to 4.4.2 and will wait until someone else gets it working. I have way too much on my plate to look into this at the moment. It does leave 4.5.0 totally unusable for me (and apparently others) though, wonder why there is so little effort going on to fix something totally breaking... or to release something obviously broken in the first place.

Any update on how to solve this issue? I am getting the same error.

Here is the code that generates null pointer exception

EngineConfig config = new EngineConfig();
config.getAppContext().put("spring", this.context);
try {
Platform.startup( config );
}
catch ( BirtException e ) {
throw new RuntimeException ( "Could not start the Birt engine!", e) ;
}

//This line throws an error and later I get a null pointer exception.
IReportEngineFactory factory = (IReportEngineFactory) Platform
.createFactoryObject(IReportEngineFactory.EXTENSION_REPORT_ENGINE_FACTORY);
birtEngine = factory.createReportEngine(config);

Here is the exception message
