How do I build the 2.5 and 2.6 BIRT RCP Report Designer?
1. Install BIRT prerequisite in Eclipse home. (You can use the allinone download to get all prerequisites.) 2. Download or import BIRT source code in workspace, including org.eclipse.birt.report.designer.ui.rcp 3. Open BIRT.product file which is under org.eclipse.birt.report.designer.ui.rcp with Product Configuration Editor 4. In the “Overview” tab -> Exporting section, open the “Eclipse Product export wizard”. 5. In the Export dialog, Set the exported Directory. Deactivate the option “Generate metadata repository” in the Export dialog, which is not a necessary option when exporting a RCP product. Then click “Finish”. The exporting of RCP should be started automatically and you will get the RCP under the directory when it finishes.
