Hello,

i want to print a SWT Table with a EMF Model. The EMF Model is stored in a xmi file. At runtime the user can choose the storage location for the xmi file.
1. Is a data source the stored xmi file or the ecore file?

If data source the xmi file(s):
2. How can i add this (different) data source in birt?

Is there a Tutorial for EMF and Birt?

Thanks

You'll need to use EMFs ODA adapter.

I tried out: http://timezra.blogspot.de/2008/04/oda-ecore-getting-started-guide.html, but i doesn't understand two things:
1. Do I need a ecore File or a instance of a ecore File?
2. If I need a instance of a ecore file, how can i switch the file at the runtime for a rcp application?

Defaultname.ecore has 1 class Peron {name}

3. Did the Query-Wizard change?

An instance file, which is parsed using the generated model. Assuming
you're using a generated model...

This seems to suggest your instance file is in the same folder as the
Ecore model file. Be sure to open the instance file with an absolute
URI, e.g, file:/c:/folder/Person.xmi so that the relative reference to
the Ecore model file can be resolved properly.

Which one exactly do you mean?

Iam confused, if i use a ecore file as datasource, then i can only select ecore types (EAttribute, EAnnotation, EClass ...)in a dataset.
If i use a stored xmi file, i cant't select anything, the list is empty.
