I just installed the latest birt all in one 2.6 and have it up and running smooth. However, I am trying to build a chart and when I insert a chart into the workspace, it gives me this error:

James,

Can you give some more detail? Are you installing it in a new location
or overwriting an existing location. Did you use the 2.6. or the 2.6.1
allinone download?

Hi Jason,

thanks for getting back so quick. I downloaded 2.6.1 all-in-one about an hour ago from http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/ in a new location (new folder on my windows desktop). I also have another older version installed elsewhere on my computer.

What Java Vm are you using?
Can you try unzipping in a directory off the c drive eg
c:/birt/2.6.1allinone

Jason,

I extracted in a folder from C drive like you said. I tried something too, I created a new report project with a blank report file and tried it, and it worked, I was able to create a chart without that issue. However when I check out our project code from SVN is it then when I am noticing this issue. It never had this problem with older versions of BERT (2.4 and 2.5). Me and another guy are using different older versions of BERT to build reports and both work fine just have issues opening each others reports to edit them, so that is why we are trying to just upgrade to the latest and be compatible. Might it have to do with the location of where I am creating the report file? Our current reports live within a Package with other java files.

One more thing I tried and noticed too was that it worked when I tried to add a chart to a report file in a new report project, and didnt work when I tried to add a chart to a report file within our code checked out from SVN.

Thanks again for your help.

I think I might have figured it out (or I got it to work). I created a report project (outside of our svn code) and copied our report files in there, I was the able to add and mess with charts. Let me know if you think that makes sense.

Thanks again for your help!

James,

I am not exactly sure what you mean. When you create report inside your
project it fails?

Please excuse my poor java/eclipse terminology. In eclipse, you can create different types of projects (Report Projects, Java projects, JPA projects , etc). Our project in eclipse is within a Java project which contains all of our code (including our report files). When trying to create or edit BIRT charts while within that project, it gives me the error "no data engine can be found" when I create a new report file or copy an existing one over within a separate "report project" it works fine. Does that make sense?

Understood. Does you project have any dependencies set that reference
birt projects? Also does your report call any java classes?

Jason,

I don't know if there are dependencies set that reference birt projects, I will look though. My reports don't call java classes. Thanks again for your help! Razz

I had the same problem.

The problem for me was that my java-project contained old birt-libraries.
Replacing them with the new ones solved it.

You might want to inform the people responsible for the java-project that
you will be using an updated version of birt, and that they might have to do the same.

Have a nice day!

Hello,

I have the same problem.
I have installed the latest helios release and downloaded the lastest
report engine release (2.6.1).
When I copy the jars of the report engine inside my tomcat/lib's
folder, eclipse crashes this error when I edit a chart.
If I remove the jars, everything works, but of course once deployed I
can't generate charts and my project doesn't compile anymore.

Is there an incompatibility between eclipse's jars and report engine's
jars ?
Which report engine should I use ?
thanks for your help.

Can you give some more detail on how you are using the engine?
If you are using BIRT in an RCP application there is no need to download
the runtime. If you are deploying BIRT to an app server you will need
the runtime.

Hello Jason,

I run the engine inside a webapplication which runs on tomcat.
I include the report engine libs inside tomcat/lib folder because I
need them to start the engine (using BirtEngine.java as in the
documentation).
As they are in tomcat, my webproject see them in the build path, they
seem to override eclipse's jars.

Understood. Can you try to leave all the libs and create a separate
report project in the same workspace to create and modify your reports.

This won't work, I need to run my reports from my application.
I can't use the preview because I use scripted dataset filled with
POJOs loaded by my application (writing complex SQL statements with
dynamic criterions/joins inside BIRT is not manageable).
I have to edit the reports inside my webpp project.

Is there some jars I could overwrite in eclipse plugins folder to make
it work ?

Lionel,

It would be good if you could log a bug for this.
If you create a separate report project you should be able to set its
classpath to the jars in your Java project in the preferences.

Exactly the same problem here. As soon as i include the BIRT runtime jars to the webapp lib directory, the same exception appears on inserting a new chart to a report. I tried a lot of constelations of build path. But no luck so far.
I think creating a new report project would be a possible workaround. But its not that pretty...

Hope for a fix or a hint soon. I'll post back if i could figure it out by myself.

Best regards!

I had this problem myself, and the reason was that I had not added all the birt reporting plugins. Apparently a number of plugins add functionality through the extension mechanism, and so when you do not add these plugins, some tasks may fail.
In my particular case, the engine needed the javascript scripting plugin.
