<p>Hi, everyone.</p><p> </p><p>I'm trying to deal with implementing custom ODA driver in BIRT.</p><p>I downloaded <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='
http://www.actuate.com/products/resources/?articleid=22889'>CSV ODA driver example</a> provided by "Integrating and Extending BIRT 3rd edition" book and opened it in Eclipse.</p><p> </p><p>The problem is that provided example <strong>perfectly works</strong> when I'm launching it using "<strong>Run as Eclipse Application</strong>" feature (it allows me to create new CSV data source), but I <strong>could not make it work</strong> when I'm exporting driver as <strong>plugin</strong> via "<strong>File->Export</strong>" feature.</p><p> </p><p>What I'm doing:</p><ul class='bbcol decimal'><li><strong>File->Export</strong> supplies me with proper <strong>.jar files</strong> (runtime and design, named using <pluginId>_<pluginVersion> convention) containing .class files as well as required plugin.xml, plugin.properties & manifest files. </li><li>I put .jar files in <strong>plugins folder</strong> of BIRT Report Designer. </li><li>After I'm launching Report Designer (using <strong>-clean</strong> option), it doesn't see any CSV oda driver (I mean it does not allow me to add new CSV data source - there is <strong>no such option</strong> in the new data source list).</li></ul><p> </p><p>Maybe, I'm doing something wrong?</p><p> </p><p>Thank you in advance.</p>
