Good afternoon,
as described in the book 'Integrating and Extending BIRT' I tried to get the CSV ODA plugin to work. I have downloaded the two zip archives from http://www.actuate.com/products/resources/?articleid=22889 and proceeded as described in the book's chapter 20, section 'Testing the CSV ODA UI Plugin'.
My Eclipse version is Helios and the BIRT included therein is 2.6.2, allthough when looking at all bits there are occasional glimpses of 2.6.1. My book's version is 'Second Edition' so it did not exactly match the more recent circumstances but I managed somehow accordingly.
The two plugins could be imported and the described run-time configuration could be started. I created a reporting project, a report and a DataSource. Test configuration said 'PING succeeded' (upon csvTestODA.csv taken from Test-CSVODA.zip downloaded form the same location as the plugins). When trying to create a DataSet, I came to the pop-up where the columns were to be selected:
29.12.2011 15:28:02 org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.oda.design.ui.designsession.DesignSessionUtil toResultSetColumnsDesign( IResultSetMetaData )
INFO: Some optional metadata of column 1 are not available.
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
at org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.csv.impl.ResultSetMetaData.getColumnDisplayLength(ResultSetMetaData.java:97)
at ...
This is true, the method getColumnDisplayLength in org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.csv.impl.ResultSetMetaData only throws an UnsupportedOperationException when called.
Also I failed in previewing the report new_report_1.rptdesign which I also took from Test-CSVODA.zip:
2011-12-29 15:34:00.502:WARN::ERROR: Error for /viewer/run
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClassCond(ClassLoader.java:631)
at ...
I may have done something wrong in the setup, there might be something rotten with my Eclipse installation, can somebody give me a hint?
Thanks & regards,
Juliane.

There may be a bug in the code. Can you try these plugins?
BTW did you load up the source and then export the plugins? The
attached ones are in exported format and can just be added to the designer.

To export the plugin correctly, open the source and open the plugin.xml.
This will launch the manifest editor. On the first tab there is an
export link in the bottom right hand corner. This will export the
plugin properly.

Juliane,
The jars I sent you were already exported. You should just be adding
these to your BIRT install.

Are you using a debug configuration to launch an inner eclipse? If you
start a new workspace, import the two projects and then launch a debug
configuration use Run a product with it set to org.eclipse.platform.ide.
I also set -XX:MaxPermSize=256M in the arguments tab under VM
Arguments. I then create a new birt project and new birt report from
within the inner Eclipse instance. BTW I am using the BIRT allinone
download.
