Integrating BIRT, OSGI and maven

Hi
 
I wrote a OSGI plugin project which generates a BIRT report .I added following dependency in my pom.
 <dependency> 
 <groupId>org.eclipse.birt.runtime</groupId> 
 <artifactId>org.eclipse.birt.runtime</artifactId> 
 <version>4.2.0</version> (alsoe tried 4.4.2) 
</dependency>
I wrote a test application and was sucessfully able to generate a report.
 
But when I try pulling this bundle in my eclipse tycho features (which reads all bundle manifest and loads the bundles) ,it complains of missing dependencies org.eclipse.birt.report.engine , org.eclipse.birt.core.
I tried adding them to my features and it starts complaining of other dependencies in the report.engine and core.
 
I checked the birt-runtime Manifest it doesnt look right , it does not have import or export package entries
 
I also tried removing runtime dependency and added only which I need and I see the Manifest on these projects have export, import entries but no versions.But this did not fix my issue.
 
<dependency> 
<groupId>org.w3c</groupId> 
<artifactId>tidy</artifactId> 
<version>1.0</version> 
</dependency> 
<dependency> 
<groupId>org.eclipse.birt</groupId> 
<artifactId>org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.pdf</artifactId> 
<version>4.4.2-SDK-4.4.2</version> 
</dependency> 
 <dependency> 
<groupId>org.eclipse.birt</groupId> 
<artifactId>org.eclipse.birt.core</artifactId> 
<version>4.4.2-SDK-4.4.2</version> 
</dependency> 
<dependency> 
<groupId>org.eclipse.birt</groupId> 
<artifactId>org.eclipse.birt.report.engine</artifactId> 
<version>4.4.2-SDK-4.4.2</version> 
</dependency> 
<dependency> 
<groupId>org.eclipse.birt</groupId> 
<artifactId>org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.script.javascript</artifactId> 
<version>4.4.2-SDK-4.4.2</version> 
</dependency>
 
Any help on how to make BIRT work on OSGI runtime will be appreciated.
 
Thank you

Are you still needing assistance with this one?

Yes... I am still having trouble using BIRT in my p2 assembly as OSGI bundle.

What is your error, ClassNotFoundException? This error is at runtime level? building is OK?
I think i have similar issue. I got an ClassNotFoundException while running birt under glassfish 3.1.2.2, and the class is contained in the org.eclipse.birt.runtime jar.. don't know how to fix it.
 
 
How birt-runtime Manifest should looks like?
 
Thanks
