Question about BIRT_HOME

p.gonzales

<p>My Setup,<br>
I am using netbeans, In netbeans you can right click the project then add a library. I added birt this way.<br><br>
Where I am at<br>
I am writing the Report Engine right now. Reading about Birt_Home variable, I know it is used for pointing to the birt libraries (According to page 263 of integrating and extending Birt) It asks for a relative directory according to the .War file.<br><br>
My question.<br>
Do I need to set up Birt_Home if I am adding the libraries by right clicking the project and adding Birt? Would I just add a directory to C:/Libraries/Birt?<br>

<pre class="_prettyXprint _lang-js">
EngineConfig ec = new EngineConfig();

ec.setBIRTHome("java/LocalLibs/BirtHome");
</pre>
<p>I jave BirtRuntime libs in java/LocalLibs/BirtHome this is a folder in my web-application. Is this good practice?</p>
