null pointer in charting API - BIRT 2.5

Hi,

I am trying to use the charts API from an RCP application. I've just
grabbed Galileo so I'm using BIRT 2.5 through a plugin project.

I have basically taken this old example (and changed the dependencies to
match the new package structure):
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/arti...ine/index.html

(It also crashed on the same line when I tried one of the built-in
examples in the plugin jar)

The stack trace is below, any advice on why this is not working would be
very much appreciated.

Thankyou.

Craig,

Take a look at these examples. There is one in the download that shows
how to call the chart engine in an RCP app.

Thanks for the tip, Jason.

I imported the project 'org.eclipse.birt.examples.rcpchartengine'... there
are two missing plugin dependencies:
- org.eclipse.birt.chart
- org.eclipse.birt.chart.runtime

I checked, and I have all 6 BIRT packages installed through eclipse update.

I tried just removing those plugin dependencies, but then I get this
exception when I try to run the project:

02/07/2009 3:29:20 PM org.eclipse.birt.chart.util.PluginSettings
getRenderer
SEVERE: (ECLIPSE-ENV) Could not find series renderer impl for
org.eclipse.birt.chart.model.type.impl.BarSeriesImpl
java.lang.NullPointerException
at
org.eclipse.birt.chart.render.BaseRenderer.instances(BaseRenderer.java:1953)
at org.eclipse.birt.chart.factory.Generator.build(Generator.java:1026)
...etc...

Craig,

Did you take a look at the example target directory that contains a
target set of plugins required?

Hi Jason,

I opened the .target file, and it shows those two plugins can't be located.

I downloaded the BIRT all-in-one release also, to check that I didn't have
some packaging problem, and tried there with the same result.

org.eclipse.birt.chart and org.eclipse.birt.chart.runtime don't seem to
exist in either my original eclipse 3.5 setup, or in the BIRT all-in-one I
just downloaded...

Craig,

I apologize. It appears that 2.5 did a little repackaging. Remove both
of the plugins from the dependency list. The reason you get the could
not find series renderer message most likely has to do with the chart
framework locating the org.eclipse.birt.chart.engine.extension plugin.
Either launch will all plugins enabled or add the chart plugins to the
target.

Thanks Jason, that did the trick.
