RE: [birt-pmc] Plug In Wizards for BIRT
|
Scott,
Is there any good examples from other projects we can look into? There are many extension points in the platform and tools project, I wonder if there is any wizard that helps creates plugin extensions in those project...

Subject: [birt-pmc] Plug In Wizards for BIRT
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.
Scott
