Hi

i'd like to offer help in mavenizing report engine.

It would be great to create maven dependencies so that we split deployment libraries into core libs and enablements for each database (maybe other criteria). The idea is to not include libs that we dont need in our application.

It would also be helpful to create Readme with description of each library under reportengine/lib to help developers pick only what they really need or help those who want to integrate it into other systems.

If i overlooked anything - sorry in advance!

I thought that deployment would be simplified in 3.7 to one jar. Unfortunately it didnt make it that far. Never mind.

See ya
Tomas

Tomas,

I know Scott Rosenbaum was looking at this as well. I think this would
be a good thing. If you want send me an email and I can send you his
contact details.

I was wondering if this process is making any progress, this thread is from July 2011. Not that I want to push anyone, this probably is all spare time work, but no hurt in asking.
And I would believe that creating some POM's for the runtime jars and uploading the bunch to a repo, even a private one, should not be that big of an issue. But I'm probably missing something.

For now I've settled on using the 3.7.1 uploaded to Sonatype, but I found that the viewservlets artifact is missing. Is that not considered a runtime artifact?

FYI: I'm a total Birt newbie, just trying to add it to my existing webapp project for the first time.

With regards,

Tom

Tom,

We should have the runtime being uploaded with each new build starting
with the release this June. Currently viewservlets artifact is not part
of this. It is just the report/design/chart engines. You may want to
have a look at this thread:

Ah, yes, this is where I got the 3.7.1 artifact info from.

Adding the viewservlets is not that complex, I've now done it using an in-project repo; it's a single jar with a pom with two dependencies (Axis and a commons). Should be easy to include...

If you like you could add a bugzilla entry for this.

Sorry for the typo's, I always seem to find them after hitting "submit" (where's the edit button ;-). But the important stuff is correct.
