Getting the preview parameter Input dialog to show when executing a report by BIRT java API [message #111177]

I have an eclipse plug-in that calls BIRT API to generate reports. So I
created a report template that has some prompting that it does for
values. When I preview the report I get a Prompt dialog and everything
is fine. Now If I execute the report via BIRT Render Engine API calls I
get an exception saying a required parameter is never set and the
prompting UI is never shown. So... I traced this using the debugger, and
found that the editor uses a class called InputParameterDialog. Is there
a way to get this dialog to pop as well when calling Engine API directly
to run a report? If not perhaps I can call this dialog directly in my
java code?

Bump. The question being: Is there a way to get a BIRT parameter
prompting dialog such as the InputParameterDialog to show when calling
BIRT Engine API directly to run a report? My suspicion so far is that I
will need to get the parameter collection and build my own UI, but
wondering if anyone has done this, or has any input here.
