Hello all,<br />
<br />
My goal is to add a feature:<br />
<br />
Export -> Report -> PDF (or other format)<br />
<br />
into my Eclipse RCP application.<br />
<br />
At this point I have added the appropriate extension point entries to enable such functionality.<br />
<br />
Currently, my IExportWizard has empty implementations of all methods, except the init method, in which I am just trying to start-up the BIRT api to connect to a dataset I have created to export a report.<br />
<br />
DesignConfig dconfig = new DesignConfig();<br />
dconfig.setBIRTHome("C:/ReportEngine");<br />
IDesignEngine dengine = new DesignEngine(dconfig);<br />
IDesignEngineFactory factory = (IDesignEngineFactory) Platform.createFactoryObject(IDesignEngineFactory.EXTENSION_DESIGN_ENGINE_FACTORY);<br />
<br />
The problem I am having is that Platform.createFactoryObject (...) always returns null, so the factory is null. What I am supposed to do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.. thank you.<br />
<br />
Also, I would like to note that I have tried the examples from this blog:<br />
<a class='bbc_url' href='
http://digiassn.blogspot.com/2007/08/birt-using-design-engine-api-and-open.html'>The Digital Voice: BIRT: Using the Design Engine API and Open Libraries</a><br />
<br />
And the examples worked for me, however, in the examples an eclipse platform instance is started, whereas in my case I already have an eclipse instance running (my RCP).
