[birt-pmc] Plug In Wizards for BIRT

[Scott Rosenbaum <scottr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

I wonder if it would make sense to build plug-in wizards that sit on top 
of the most common BIRT extension points, or at least on top of the ones 
that we think will be used extensively.  The ones that I think would 
really make sense would be:

- ODA Plugin wizard
- ODA UI Plugin Wizard
- ReportItem Plugin Wizard

I have not really got into the extension of the Chart Extension Points 
yet, but it would seem another likely place for extension. 

The goal of the Plugin wizard would not be to fully functional code but 
to create the basics of a PDE project that has most of the required 
extensions, and scaffolding built. 

I do know how much work is involved here, but I really think that it 
would improve the usability of BIRT.  I think that a number of the 
people that will want to extend BIRT will not have experience doing 
plugin development, so if we can at least get them started, it will 
significantly reduce their learning curve.
