Gang,
Has anyone been able to get BIRT 3.7.1 reports to work in Eclipse? I've followed all the instructions (I've done this several times for 2.3.2), but anytime I try to run a report I get the following error
java.lang.ClassCastException:java.lang.NoSuchMethodError cannot be cast to java.lang.Exception
I'm using Eclipse 3.7.1 - INDIGO
thanks,
John
Yes. Mine works good. You've got to follow the steps exactly in the set up doc. As I recall there's an additional step that wasn't in the previous version.

Can you pass on the setup doc, Please?
Thanks,

Sean,
I set up the eclipse 3.7.1 for SQL Server 2008 and followed all the
direction as mentioned in the guide but I am not able to see any driver
when I tried to test the database connection. I am sure that something
is not right when you explode the sqljdbc.jar file and copy them to the
class folder as all the drivers reside there. Any Idea?
Thanks,
Kumar

If you are referring to the Database Development perspective, that is separate than the drivers you copy for running reports.
In the New connection dialog, you have to click the button next to the driver dropdown “New Driver Definition” and set up the driver. In that dialog, select the SQL Server Version, click the Jar List tab, and click Add Jar/Zip, point to the SQL Server jars (not the folder you unzipped). Remove the Invalid Jar from the list. Then click OK. Should then be able to select the driver and fill out details.
However keep in mind that this has absolutely no bearing on the classes / drivers used for running reports. That is done through the steps outlined in the BIRT Set Up doc.
