CSV Export with BIRT

Hello, 
as I understand exporting BIRT reports as a csv - file is well discussed. 
I just startet working with BIRT and have a question to the generell process. 
 
I found this very helpful link, which allowed me to generate a csv-file from a BIRT Report. 
<a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.birt-exchange.org/blog/2008-10-07/using-the-csv-emitter-with-birt-230/'>Using the CSV emitter with BIRT 2.3.0 » Blog - BIRT Exchange</a> 
 
However this is implemented in a java application and first a "normal" Birt report is created and then exportet as CSV. 
 
Is there a possibility to define the ouput of a report as CSV in BIRT or do I always first have to create the report and the export it. 
Is there a possibility to call a java application after the report is created in BIRT? 
 
Thank for the help. 
many regards, Felix

Hi Felix, did you find a solution to your problem since,
I have also installed the csv emitter, and it is working but i would like it to appear in the list of available report formats, so i can click on view report and choose csv to run a csv report
