Myeclipse中安装Birt

由于近期项目要求在ibm_jdk1.4.2基础上开发，并且要求有报表的生成。
      我首先调研了一下birtReport这个java开源插件。
      环境：
             Myeclipse6.5
             Websphere6.1
             birt-report-framework-2.1.3（不是最新版本，主要是支持JDK1.4.2）

      birt与Myeclipse的组合
       解压birt-report-framework-2.1.3.zip（此为birt插件）
       然后将birt-report-framework-2.1.3/eclipse文件夹下的features,plugins拷贝到myeclipse的安装目录eclipse相应的features,plugins文件夹中。
    例：我的是C:/MyEclipse 6.5/myeclipse/eclipse下的文件
       这样重启myeclipse就可以看到birt插件了。

Step 2: Select Search for New Features to install.

Step 3: Choose the Callisto Discovery Site.

Step 4: After Update Manager checks for available features, check the option to select Charting and Reporting.

Step 5: Press the Select Required button to find the additional components that BIRT uses.

Step 6: Press Next and on the following page, accept the license terms.

Step 7: Press Finish and Update Manager will download the required components.

Step 8: On the Feature Verification page, select Install All (BIRT components are currently not signed, so you can ignore this warning).

Step 9: Restart Eclipse.

Step 10: You can now start designing BIRT reports by selecting the Report Design perspective.

Choose Window > Open Prespective > Other... and then Report Design.
