BIRT Exchange Forum: BIRT Exchange Forum -> BIRT Exchange - Plug In 2 BIRT Contest

At EclipseCon last week, Actuate announced the Plug In to BIRT Contest as a follow-up to our very successful Get Started with BIRT contest held in September/October 2011.

This new contest will award a new 3rd generation iPad for each of the 3 best plug-in implementations (extensions to BIRT) submitted to BIRT Exchange between now and April 30, 2012.

Our Contest Details and Examples Wiki page has everything you need to get started -- tutorials, sample code, and lots of suggestions for new plug-ins we'd like to see.

But you've never created a BIRT plug-in before?
Not a problem. Plug-ins are usually straightforward to implement for most good developers -- in fact our winners last time were all first-time BIRT plug-in developers.

And if you're up for a challenge, BIRT developers are always looking for new Chart Types. We have several ideas listed or please come up with your own.

You retain ownership of any code you submit for the contest, and you're free to sell or distribute it later if you wish.

So check out the Contest Details and Examples Wiki page and get started!
