Hi All,

I was wondering which CVS project and build script is used to create the standalone birt-rcp-report-designer-2_6_0.zip distribution.

Thanks,

Frank Grimes

Should I be asking this sort of question on the dev. mailing list instead?

Frank,

Have you looked at the buildAll.xml ant build for creating all the
projects in the org.eclipse.birt.releng.birtbuilder project?

I'm working off the BIRT_2_6_0_Release_201006171315 tag and don't see any build files in the org.eclipse.birt.releng.birtbuilder project.

Frank,

Can you open a bug for this? Also add that the wiki page needs to be
updated for the build process.

Thanks

Jason

It seems that the BIRT_2_6_0_Release_201006171315 tag has been re-created for org.eclipse.birt.releng.birtbuilder and I now see the build files you mentioned.

I tried running the build but they try to check out sources from CVS. (it failed because I don't have the cvs.exe in my path)
However, I already have the projects checked out in my workspace.

How do I build a release from my workspace?
Is this possible?

I will give this a try and get back to you.

Jason,

To build BIRT RCP designer from source, you should use the RCP export tool provided by Eclipse.

Detailed steps:
1. Prepare all source plugins in your workspace, including org.eclipse.birt.report.designer.ui.rcp
2. Open BIRT.product file which is under org.eclipse.birt.report.designer.ui.rcp with Product Configuration Editor
3. In the "Overview" tab -> Exporting section, open the "Eclipse Product export wizard".
4. In the Export dialog, Set the exported Directory. Then click "Finish". The exporting of RCP should be started automatically and you will get the RCP under the directory when it finishes.

I will add the RCP exporting steps to the wiki page.

FYI, checking out org.eclipse.birt.report.designer.ui.rcp from the BIRT_2_6_0_Release_201006171315 CVS tag gives an empty directory.

I guess I will look at trying to build from CVS HEAD for now, at least until the release tagging issues are resolved.

CVS HEAD has compilation errors in a few projects, so it looks like l'm stuck again.

I see that https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=323142 has been closed.

Do I need to open a new bug report for the missing files in
org.eclipse.birt.report.designer.ui.rcp?

Frank,

What issue did you have using the approach written in the wiki using the
2.6 release tag?

1. Install BIRT prerequisite in Eclipse home. (You can use the allinone download to get all prerequisites.)

I downlaoded and installed the allinone download

2. Download or import BIRT source code in workspace, including org.eclipse.birt.report.designer.ui.rcp

I checked out org.eclipse.birt.report.designer.ui.rcp from the BIRT_2_6_0_Release_201006171315 CVS tag.

3. Open BIRT.product file which is under org.eclipse.birt.report.designer.ui.rcp with Product Configuration Editor

There is no such file in the project.

Understood. Can you add a comment to the bug that states this? As a
work around can you try going into cvs explorer and locate the rcp
project and then do a "check out as" option, which will give you a
chance to refresh the tags. When it lists the tags use v20100624.

I switched to using the v20100624 tag of org.eclipse.birt.report.designer.ui.rcp (used BIRT_2_6_0_Release_201006171315 tag of other projects)

I was then able to build a running Birt RCP platform using the new instructions on the WIKI.

While it seems to build ok, I do get the following errors when doing the RCP export:

C:\eclipse-reporting-helios\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org .eclipse.pde.core\temp\org.eclipse.pde.container.feature\pac kage.org.eclipse.pde.container.feature.win32.win32.x86.xml:9 3: The following error occurred while executing this line:

Are these expected?
Can they safely be ignored?

I do not believe those errors affect the build, but you could try
restarting eclipse with the -clean option and try again.

I can not reproduce this issue in my workspace.
BIRT.product file revision 1.52 was re-tagged with CVS tag BIRT_2_6_0_Release_201006171315. Would it be possible that you get the code when we were re-tagging the rcp plugin?

If you were using Eclipse 3.6 for exporting rcp, please deactivate the option "Generate metadata repository" in the Export dialog.

This is not a necessary option when exporting a RCP product.

Hi All,

After getting the re-tagged BIRT_2_6_0_Release_201006171315 version of org.eclipse.birt.report.designer.ui.rcp, the problem seems to have gone away.

Thanks everyone!
