Platform.createFactoryObject returns null in Birt 4.5.0a

Mad1s0n

<p>Good day to all,</p>
<p>I just filed an <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=494896'>entry</a&gt; on BIRT's Bugzilla for the mentionned bug.</p>
<p>In BIRT 4.5.0 the org.eclipse.birt.runtime-4.5.0a.jar lacks some information in the MANIFEST.MF file preventing a proper loading of the library at startup.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For those looking for a temporary workaround you can add the following lines in the MANIFEST to get it working:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bundle-Version: 4.5.0<br>
Bundle-Name: BIRT Runtime SDK<br>
Bundle-SymbolicName: org.eclipse.birt.runtime<br>
Bundle-Vendor: Eclipse.org</p>

<p>We are also getting the same error..</p>
<p>org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'engine': FactoryBean threw exception on object creation; nested exception is java.lang.NullPointerException.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Any help regarding this is highly appreciated.</p>
