Hello. There is a bug with PDF export in version 3.7.0 of BIRT. It has been fixed with build 3.7.1

How can we update myeclipse version 10 to use the latest BIRT designer and run-time build?

mfilosa,

We do not have an integrated update wizard. I'm assuming you created your project with MyEclipse 10? If so, you could follow these steps:

1) Download the BIRT wtp integration sdk:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/birt/downloads/drops/R-R1-3_7_1-201109131734/birt-wtp-integration-sdk-3_7_1.zip
and unzip it

2) In the eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.birt.integration.wtp.ui_3.7.1.v20110913-1734\runtime\
folder, you will find birt.zip, unzip this to another location

3) In WEB-INF/lib you will find the updated BIRT libraries. You can replace the libraries in your project's WebRoot/WEB-INF/lib folder with these libraries to update to the latest version.

Please note that this fix is only for your project. The version of BIRT that MyEclipse will use at runtime will remain 3.7.0; so if you try some actions within MyEclipse, you may not see the fix active and there could be some minor design incompatibilities (we cannot say more until we update to BIRT 3.7.1 ourselves), however, your project should work fine when deployed.
