birt home and runtime

[Francois Le Fevre]

Dear Birt Maven plugin community,

I am newbie to birt.

I have seen your plugin: cool!

I have a question, you have a parameter birthome  that is linked to an installation of BIRT.

I was wondering if it is possible to link directely to the birds runtime as a maven dependency?

Effectively I have found here http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/project/notable4.2.php#jump_4

The dependency for birds runtime.

It will be great if your plugin links to the birt runtime and not to the birt home !

By the way I am looking for a birt template for uml models...

Thanks a lot for your help.

Francois

While many artifacts from previous versions of BIRT have made it into a Maven repository, with this release of BIRT, the build process has modified to upload releases to the Sonatype repository. The BIRT runtime artifacts will be uploaded for each release of BIRT and will allow developers to integrate any of the BIRT engines into an existing Java application using Maven. Example POM entries are shown below.
