The birtEngineHome build descriptor option identifies the location of the Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools (BIRT) report engine. You must set this option before you can work with BIRT in a General project. The requirement does not apply to a Plug-in project.
The value of the birtEngineHome option is the fully qualified path of the ReportEngine subdirectory in the directory that contains the BIRT runtime code. An example is C:\birt\birt-runtime-2_3_0\ReportEngine. The option has no default.
| EGL version | BIRT version |
|---|---|
| 7.5 | 2.3.0 |
| 8.0 | 2.6.1 |
For details on installing the BIRT runtime code and on other setup issues, see "Adding support for BIRT reports to a project" in the Programmer's Guide.
