Problem with BIRT on Linux

I tried to use BIRT in my webapplication project. But I'm getting this kind of exception all the time:

org.eclipse.birt.core.framework.FrameworkException: Could not find the Framework - org.eclipse.osgi at

Anyone an idea, what this can be?

I tried it local at my windows machine - all worked fine, but when I start the report on the linux server, it won't run.

I also tried to set the necessary permissions in the tomcat 50local.policy - giving him all the permissions for the moment - like: permission java.lang.AllPermission;

Thanks for your help.

The issue is that the JVM cannot find the framework libraries. Just add an environment variable pointing to the "platform" directory under your BIRT installation. Call this variable "birthome";

So your JVM (Tomcat for example) should get an additional parameter at startup like this:

–Dbirthome="C:\PROGRA~1\ACTUAT~1\Jar\BIRT\platform"

Good luck.

Just guessing, but that looks like you don't have the BIRT runtime correctly deployed on your linux server.

Please make sure all the jars in Birt runtime lib are under path. If your are using tomcat make sure all the jars are under /WEB-INF/lib/
