Tribix - Extented emitters
I am trying to implement the Extended XLS emitter from Tribix and keep getting an error telling me that I've forgotten to install a required library. I've attempted this with two separate BIRT Installations, and get the problem in either case.
Basically I am following a resourse posted by Virgil Dodson on Jul 19, 2007. The newest emitter binaries are version 2.5 and contain a minimal set of files.
I am following (to the best of my knowledge) the steps to deploy the emitter.
For example:
I am extracting the contents of the tribix zip file into BRDProeclipse where the contents are dropped into the plugins folder.
Next I remove the prototype excel jar file then
copy the poi-3.2-FINAL-20081019.jar from Apache into: BRDProeclipsepluginsorg.uguess.birt.report.engine.emitter.xls_2.5.0.200907171402lib.
based on the instructions in the readme file, this is basically all I need to do to implement the Tribix Extended (XLS) emitter. so, I restart BIRT and try to view a report in XLSl. The only thing that pops up is an error saying that I need to check that the required libraries have been installed. Excel never launches, the save/open file dialog never opens, only the error in bright red letters...
Does anybody have an idea of what I am missing?
Thanks,
RG
