I am trying to get a CSV from the report using this well-known plugin and the example from its documentation, but it throws an exception. I wonder why, because I just copied most of the code from the doc.
My code is:
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import org.eclipse.birt.core.exception.BirtException;
import org.eclipse.birt.core.framework.Platform;
import org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.EngineConfig;
import org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.csv.CSVRenderOption;
import org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.IReportEngine;
import org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.IReportEngineFactory;
import org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.IReportRunnable;
import org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.IRunAndRenderTask;
public class RunReport {
static void runReport() throws FileNotFoundException, BirtException {
String resourcePath = "C:\\Users\\hpsa\\workspace\\My Reports\\";
FileInputStream fs = new FileInputStream(resourcePath + "new_report_1.rptdesign");
IReportEngine engine = null;
EngineConfig config = new EngineConfig();
config.setEngineHome("C:\\birtre\\birt-runtime-4_3_2\\");
config.setLogConfig("C:\\birtre\\", Level.FINE);
config.setResourcePath(resourcePath);
Platform.startup(config);
IReportEngineFactory factory = (IReportEngineFactory) Platform.createFactoryObject(IReportEngineFactory.EXTENSION_REPORT_ENGINE_FACTORY);
engine = factory.createReportEngine(config);
engine.changeLogLevel(Level.FINE);
IReportRunnable design = engine.openReportDesign(fs);
IRunAndRenderTask task = engine.createRunAndRenderTask(design);
CSVRenderOption csvOption = new CSVRenderOption();
String format = CSVRenderOption.OUTPUT_FORMAT_CSV;
csvOption.setOutputFormat(format);
csvOption.setOutputFileName("newBIRTcsv.csv");
csvOption.setShowDatatypeInSecondRow(true);
csvOption.setExportTableByName("SecondTable");
csvOption.setDelimiter("\t");
csvOption.setReplaceDelimiterInsideTextWith("-");
task.setRenderOption(csvOption);
task.setEmitterID("org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.csv");
task.run();
task.close();
Platform.shutdown();
System.out.println("Report Generated Sucessfully!!");
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
runReport();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
I am getting the exception:

I found the package org.eclipse.core.runtime and registered in the build path, but then I am getting the same exception. Indeed, there are no any CoreException.class in the org.eclipse.core.runtime package. What am I doing wrong?
I was trying a lot of variants of importing different jars, but finally i found the weird decision here:
go to the Project Explorer, right-mouse click on properties for the project, go to Java Build path, Click on the External Jars button, then select all the libraries under C:\birt_runtime\birt-runtime-2_1_0\ReportEngine\lib\ folder
This made chaos there, but at least it starts.
