BIRT 2.1.0 distribution missing some plugin metadata? [message #16390] Mon, 12 June 2006 07:35 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hi,
I've installed the BIRT 2.1.0 zip (1) for TPTP 4.2.0 (as recommended
at bottom of (2)) to enable reporting from the <tptp:publication> ant
task and I noticed that on startup the Error Log is reporting a number
of errors installing BIRT bundles. For example:

Error
Mon Jun 12 12:09:49 BST 2006
Plugin does not have a valid version:
plugins/org.eclipse.datatools.modelbase.sql_0.9.0.200605101/

Error
Mon Jun 12 12:09:49 BST 2006
Plugin does not have a valid version:
plugins/org.eclipse.datatools.modelbase.sql.xml.query_0.9.0. 200605101/

Presumably these plugins are coming from DTP, and looking at the
offending plugin folders, they do seem to be missing Manifest files.
Has anyone else noticed this? Should TPTP be using a revised BIRT/DTP
distribution?

The DTP modelbase plugins, as included in the BIRT N20060530 build, are
indeed incomplete. The BIRT build should not have included these DTP
modelbase plugins in the first place.
They are no longer included since the BIRT 20060602 build.

A work-around is to manually remove all the DTP modelbase plugins from
your installation, since they are not used by BIRT.

Or, if you want to get the complete DTP plugins, download the version
distributed by DTP download page or the Callisto update site.

Linda,
Thanks for the clarification. If the DTP modelbase is not being used
then I'll assume the platform failures to initialize the bundles can be
ignored.
BTW, the versions I am using are all from Callisto RC4. Well nearly -
the TPTP page links to a slightly earlier release of BIRT (N20060530
instead of M-R1-2.1RC4 but both are missing manifests). I can wait
until the next Callisto release to pick up a cleaner build. I presume
the BIRT reporting framework distribution will no longer internally
contain any DTP plugins?

John.

John,

It does contain those DTP plugins that are needed by BIRT. That includes the DTP ODA plugins and a couple other DTP connectivity plugins.

The reason I asked is that we typically combine BIRT distributions with
tothers from Callisto - WTP (and it's dependents), DTP etc. Having a
second (different) DTP distribution inside the BIRT reporting framework
causes two sets of DTP plugins to get dropped into our Eclipse installation.
It's not a big problem, we can manually remove the DTP plugins from the
BIRT zip and re-distribute it, I was just hoping the distro coming from
you guys would be trimmed down (and the download page would have a link
to the compatable DTP runtime...

Yes, I do see the issue you'd described.
Please submit a Bugzilla entry for the BIRT Build component on this, and
specify which BIRT download package(s) that you use.

It should be ok, though, for the BIRT "all-in-one" package to continue
include its dependent DTP plugins, right?

Done - https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=147419
It's not quite as big a problem - at least at the moment BIRT is
redistributing the 'correct' version of DTP but it would be good to make
the BIRT distro leaner. (There is also the danger that in the future we
may need to combine a patched version of DTP with BIRT)

Yes, I don't see why not!
