can I use BIRT without Eclipse? - birt

I'd like to use BIRT as stand-alone application (without Eclipse).
How is it possible?
Could I run BIRT as web service?
Does BIRT have web interface?
Thank you

BIRT and Eclipse can not be seperated, kind of like playing Wii without a Television is not possible.
But your user interface can be a web page. Apache is often choosen as delivery tool.
You can download open source BIRT from http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/
If you have any issues getting set up, pretty much every solution can be found by Google.

vb6 data report shows designer at runtime

I'm developing an app in VB6 and added a data report bound to a data environment. I set the report as start up object, but it shows the designer and not the report viewer!
I have built a new project and imported all of the objects back in but to no avail.
I did a test with a small Data Project and it worked.
Has anyone else come across this problem?
Thanks in advance.
Problem allayed due to the fact that SHAPE commands cannot be used with DISCONNECTED recordsets...which defeats what I am trying to achieve here.
I'll use MSAccess reports via OLE server.
Thanks for looking anyway!

Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c Plugin development

I am very new in developing a plugin for Oracle Enterprise manager. I have setup my work environment(installed Adobe Flex builder,Extensibility Development Kit(Edk) and all). I have also succesfully deployed a sample plugin to OEM grid control. Now I have a few queries which can be solved by someone who already done plugins in OEM(Hope SE contains some). I have posted in oracle's forum,but getting no response. Here are my queries:
1) Is it possible to add the Sample plugin created also to be listed when selecting the targets from Enterprise>Monitoring>Logs? If yes, how can I do that.
2) Also, in that case can I add a custom UI instead of showing logs in table.
Thanks in advance!!
For those who came across the same problem and get here through google,

integrating reports in a netbeans platform application

I am looking for a way to integrate jasper reports in a netbeans platform application. I have googled this and there seem to be no direct answer, so am asking to be helped in this.
to be specific i use a MySql database and ireport designer to design my reports. I need to display the specific reports in a report viewer and display it in a top component.
please direct me on a way to accomplish this.
It seems like you should be using the JRViewer component.
Have a look at this Jasper Reports Swing tutorial. The only difference is that instead of embedding your JRViewer in a JFrame you'll be embedding it in a TopComponent

Web based Report Designer Spring/Hibernate

I am looking for a web based report designer supporting spring/hibernate. I have seen BIRTStudio but it is not free.
I came across this list http://java-source.net/open-source/charting-and-reporting which could be helpful. It might be appropriate to cookup my own small reporting engine. My core requirements:
End user should be able to specify parameters for a report
Report should be available in Excel form
Report should use the same permissions scheme as the application (ie spring security)
Report can be of two types (visual and textual) and among those types report can be of Chart or Map
I have found Pentaho to be a solution
http://community.pentaho.com/faq/waqr_faq.php
The target audience is not software developers, but it still seems a good start.
#geoaxis, try Jasper and DynamicJasper
I've written a set of tutorials for integrating Spring MVC 3 and Jasper. I've also provided a downloadable Maven build.

What is the simplest way to set up a BIRT report viewer for a xulrunner application?

I recently began using BIRT and have developed a report to use with my xulrunner application. What I haven't yet figured out is how I should deploy the viewer. It seems like BIRT mostly targets Java applications, so there are instructions for deploying on J2EE, JBoss, and other technologies -- with which I am not familiar (but I'm not developing in Java anyway).
Reviewing this article on deploying BIRT and reviewing the deployment details on BIRT's web site, I'm not sure where to go. I wasn't expecting to have to add some large Java dependency for the xulrunner application --is there no way I can drop an executable in with my xulrunner app, call it from my app, and pass it a report document? (Or something else that would be simpler than learning and using J2EE, JBoss, tomcat?)
It appears that there is a genReport.bat file in the run-time somewhere that can generate reports from the command line. This appears to be what I need, and this article describes it.
(11/2014) I'm going to add:
download Birt runtime from: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/birt/downloads/drops/R-R1-4_3_0-201306131152/birt-runtime-4_3_0.zip
extract somewhere and set a new Environment variable BIRT_HOME=path_to_where_you_extracted
remember to add your database library into \ReportEngine\lib , (ex: jtds.jar)
Open a console inside ReportEngine dir and run:
genReport.bat -f PDF -o PATH/GENERATED_REPORTS/REPORT.pdf -F "PATH/TO/REPORT.rptdesign"
And that's all what I needed to do
