RCP interactive reporting

Is it possible to integrate the actuate interactive reporting component into an RCP app (i.e. using the eclipse embedded tomcat engine) for running interactive reports in a thick client? (I imagine this would work like the preview mode in the report designer).
If so, is there a packaged plugin to do this or should we roll our own from the war?
Thanks,
Peter

anyone? It would be useful to know if this was supported or not!

Hi Peter,
Your assumption is correct. You could build your own RCP app that leverages an embedded servlet container like Jetty or Tomcat to run the Actuate BIRT Viewer and Interactive Viewer. You might be able to leverage the existing plugin that is in the Actuate BIRT Report Designer, though I have not personally tried this.

There is not a plugin outside of what is in the Actuate BIRT Report Designer that you could download and plugin. You will either have to pick apart the plugin in the designer, or roll your own with a war file in the app.
