birtEngineHome

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.

Note: EGL supports only the following versions of BIRT:
Table 1. EGL and BIRT version compatibility
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.
