Example Repository

I have set up a Subversion version control repository with a number of BIRT examples at:

http://longlake.minnovent.com/repos/birt_example

You can use the Subclipse plug-in to get anonymous read access to the repository.

Some interesting examples:

birt_api_example Contains Design and Runtime examples for building and running BIRT reports
birt_runtime_lib Holds all of the libraries and plug-ins required by the API example

callstack_designer
callstack_runtime Simple ODA example with extensive logging

google_designer
google_runtime ODA example that attaches to Google Spread-Sheets
