Genrate .rptdesign file based on ecore objects

HI,
We want to Develope an eclipse plugin that create a custom report based on domain object.
we have to read ecores objects that describe our entities and produce .rptdesign file based on them.
I would like to have any suggestion and/or idea that might help us in this process.
thanks

Sounds like what you need is an ODA driver to read the meta data for an EMF model. The ODA driver will allow you to access data directly and design a report in the BIRT designer and generate the report using the Engine or Viewer. 
 
There is a proposed Eclipse project that creates this, and from reading the page, has a good deal of the work done.
