BIRT in Desktop application

Deb P

<p>We have a Java swing based Windows Desktop application, where we are planning to add charting capabilities. Can BIRT be used in such scenario? How hard is it to integrate BIRT in a swing based application? What are the things that need to be considered? </p><p> </p><p>Can BIRT work with XML data source. Where can I find some sample ?</p><p> </p><p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Here is an example of a XML data source from the devShare:</p><p> </p><p><a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.birt-exchange.org/devshare/_/designing-birt-reports/70-birt-xml-data-source'>http://www.birt-exchange.org/devshare/_/designing-birt-reports/70-birt-xml-data-source</a></p><p> </p><p>As far as using BIRT in a Swing app, yes, it can be used.  Here is a devShare that shows how someone did it:</p><p> </p><p><a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.birt-exchange.org/devshare/_/designing-birt-reports/1182-birt-report-from-java-swing'>http://www.birt-exchange.org/devshare/_/designing-birt-reports/1182-birt-report-from-java-swing</a></p><p> </p><p>I've also used JFX with Swing and BIRT to use the WebView to display the output html though I don't have an example to link to for that at this time.</p>
