[cosmos-dev] BIRT references in org.eclipse.cosmos.releng.builder

["Beck, Bradley C" <Bradley.Beck@xxxxxx>]

I’m confused by the references to the BIRT runtime in the builder project (org.eclipse.cosmos.releng.builder).

 

The following references are made in runtime/build.properties:

# BIRT runtime

birtURL=http://download.eclipse.org/birt/downloads/drops/R-R1-2_3_0-200806191030

birtFilename=birt-runtime-2_3_0.zip

 

While runtime/customTargets.xml contains the following references:

            <!--  <antcall target="fetch.unzip">

                  <param name="url" value="${birtURL}"/>

                  <param name="filename" value="${birtFilename}"/>

                  <param name="dstdir" value="${baseLocation}/.."/>

            </antcall> -->

…

            <unzip dest="${baseLocation}" overwrite="true" src="" />

 

The raises a few questions:

1)      Is the BIRT runtime still required for the COSMOS build?

2)      If BIRT is required, why has the “fetch.unzip” task for it been commented out?

3)      Why is the file “birt-runtime-2.3RC4.zip” being referenced in the “unzip” task instead of the file defined by “birtFilename” in build.properties?

 

If this is a bug, let me know and I’ll open a bugzilla for it.

 

Thanks,
