Creating/Editing datacubes leads to error about birt

[merks]

The latest nightly build fixes the problem

https://download.eclipse.org/birt/updates/nightly/latest

[merks]

I could reproduce the problem in the debugger. I suspect there are changes in GEF that are causing this issue so depending on which version of GEF you have installed, there can be problems probably with with any version of BIRT. I think I have a fix coming soon...

[merks]

Can you try with 4.17?

[cszasz]

When can I install it from?

The same result. I get this when I open a report which already has datacubes:

[merks]

Thanks for reporting and checking. We’ll look into it shortly.

[cszasz]

I realized the error I made. When installing there are plugins which shouldn't be installed into the IDE. But by mistake I installed them as well. They cause this error.

[cszasz]

However after I installed the wrong feature as well is there a way to uninstall them completely. Simply uninstalling the BIRT features seems to have left something behind as I get the same error event after reinstalling only the correct features.

[cszasz]

I turned out that it works ok with previous eclipse versions, but with the latest eclipse, it produces the above error even after a completely fresh install.

[digiPHOTO-it]

good. this worked for me.
excellent
