I don't see anything in the UI that will let me "build the source now",  
nor do I see any sign the source has built (no class files anywhere I  
can find, no log entries, no nothing). 
 
How do I manually trigger a build?  Also, can that info be added to the  
instructions? 
 
Thanks,

Out" and "Checkout As" are no longer selectable in the context menu. 
 
2) If checkout is done on the "source BIRT_2_1_1..." directory, you can  
choose "check out", but apparently, automatic build does not get invoked. 
 
I'm guessing that automatic build only works if the sub-directories are  
checked out as 100 or so separate directories, not as a single  
super-directory with 100 or so sub-directories. 
 
The UI isn't really telling me what's going on; any advice you all have,  
much thanks.

I believe I used Check out as. 
Are you still having problems with this?

It appears that my two observations are correct:  including the "source  
BIRT..." folder will prevent autobuild from working, and including the  
..project file will prevent "Checkout" from being selectable. 
 
But once I knew about these two issues, autobuild worked. 
 
It would also be good if there was an explicit note that DTP was needed  
(the flatfile demo, for example, has moved out of the BIRT tree into the  
DTP tree, for example), but I figured that much out.

There should be directions on the site. Go to to build ant script, right  
mouse click, and choose Run/Run as Ant Build.
