MacOS BIRT 4.4 is missing ThemesReportItems3.rptlibrary
jshaw
<p>I have built a series of reports using BIRT 4.4 on Windows, i committed them into Git, then reloaded them into BIRT 4.4 on MacOS. They fail because on the Mac ThemesReportItems3 rptlibrary is not found/present, on windows it is inside the eclipse distribution of BIRT. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>How do i add this themes rptlibrary to the Mac?</p>

<p>Are you using commercial or OS BIRT? Same for both Windows and Mac?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Actuate BIRT Designer Professional Version 4.4.0 is from the IHub 3.1 release, and should be using ThemesReportItems31.rptlibrary.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Both my Windows and Mac distribution of this release have of the .rptlibrary files under ...eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.birt.resources.actuate_23.0.0.v20131216:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you open your .rptdesign, and look at lines starting around 9, you'll see the reference. What do your designs reference?</p>
<pre class="_prettyXprint">
<list-property name="libraries">
<structure>
<property name="fileName">/ThemesReportItems31.rptlibrary</property>
<property name="namespace">ThemesReportItems31</property>
</structure>
</list-property></pre>
<p>Or what you can also do is place this .rptlibrary into your project's root folder (on the same level as the default files:.project, BIRTApplication.xml, index.html).</p>

<p>Hi, i have tried downloading Actuate's BIRT 4.4 DesignerPro for MacOS from their website twice now, neither have contained the plugin resources file you mention.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I do have org.eclipse.birt.resources_4.4.0.v201405191524 but it has no .rptlibrary files in it, indeed there are none in the plugins folder. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>My rptdesign files reference a similar point as yours, /ThemesReportItems3.rptlibrary instead of your 31. But without the rptlibraries I am not going to get very far in either case!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Which makes me think Actuate's MacOS 4.4 download is incomplete...?</p>

<p>Under the Try section, there are two designers available, the commercial one and the open source one. The commercial version of the BIRT Designer (formerly BIRT Deisgner Professional) was recently renamed as "Analytics Designer". I think that this may have caused some confusion.</p>

<p>Did you download from this link (<a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='

<p>Yeah, thanks all, it was my own fault for not installing the right version as mentioned above, i had the Open Source version.</p>
