<p>So there are some problems with Eclips BIRT and Maven. There was already a few post about it but again want to ask

to keep in mind that if you want to use BIRT together with maven you need this in your POM.xml.</p><pre class="_prettyXprint _lang-xml _linenums:14"> <!-- domain eclipse BIRT with eclusion of the private build of Apache POI --> <dependency> <groupId>org.eclipse.birt.runtime</groupId> <artifactId>org.eclipse.birt.runtime</artifactId> <version>4.3.1</version> <exclusions> <exclusion> <artifactId>org.apache.poi</artifactId> <groupId>org.eclipse.birt.runtime</groupId> </exclusion> <exclusion> <artifactId>flute</artifactId> <groupId>milyn</groupId> </exclusion> </exclusions> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.poi</groupId> <artifactId>poi</artifactId> <version>3.9</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.milyn</groupId> <artifactId>flute</artifactId> <version>1.3</version> </dependency> </dependencies></pre><p>The dependencies are still not completely good in the default pom of Eclipse BIRT.</p>
