Configuring the BIRT Report Designer RCP for HCL Compass reporting
Copy the HCL Compass Reporting Driver plug-ins to the plugins directory of the BIRT Report Designer to enable reporting from Compass data sources.
Before you begin
The HCL Compass Reporting Driver requires the Java™ Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.6.0 or higher. Reporting tools that use older versions of the Java™ Runtime Environment cannot load and use the HCL Compass Reporting Driver. If you already have a Java™ Runtime Environment installed on your system, run this command from a command prompt to check the version number:java -version.
