OFBiz BIRT compatible report development toolchain

[Bruno Busco]

Hi,
I am trying to write some OFBiz report using BIRT.
I installed the INDINGO release of Eclipse and then the BIRT package.

The version of the BIRT package I got is 3.7.1 but the rtpdesign files
generated with this tool does not seem to be compatible with the BIRT
engine that is embedded into OFBiz (version 2.6).

I got this error when I simply open and save again one of the OFBiz OOTB
provided .rptdesign files.

------------------------------------------
Nov 26, 2011 2:12:39 PM
org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.impl.ReportEngineHelper
getReportDesignHandle
SEVERE: invalid design file <stream>
------------------------------------------

I tryed to install an older BIRT package into Eclipse INDINGO but the
oldest available to install is version 3.7.0 whish I guess would give the
same problem.

Has anybody any advice to solve the problem?
What is the OFBiz BIRT compatible report development toolchain ?

Thank you,
Bruno Busco

have you followed the example file.
in ofbiz you must call the file through the contoller view

Thank you for your suggestion.
I will switch to the Eclipse Galileo.

At the moment, with the INDINGO release, I found a work around that
consists in replacing the version property in the report tag in the
.rptdesign file as follows:

change the file generated by INDINGO eclipse
<report xmlns="http://www.eclipse.org/birt/2005/design" version="3.2.22"
id="1">
with the following
<report xmlns="http://www.eclipse.org/birt/2005/design" version="3.2.15"
id="1">

This seems to work so far.
