  • 1.  Anyone got BIRT Designer 4.21 setup working?

    Added maximo scriptlibrary classes to global classpath as usual, but I can't get it working for some reason.

    Report preview fails due to Eclipse BIRT cannot find MXReportContext class.

    BIRT Designer 4.16 works just fine but I can't use it because it has a bug that prevents using CrossTab (Creating/Editing datacubes leads to error · Issue #1824 · eclipse-birt/birt

    GitHub remove preview

    BIRT 4.21 is supported natively by Maximo Manage 9.2, but it is not supported out-of-the-box for MAS 9.0 or MAS 9.1. [1]
    Compatibility depends on which specific version of MAS you are running:
    MAS 9.0 & MAS 9.1: These versions natively utilize BIRT 4.16. BIRT 4.21 is incompatible here, and attempting to run it can cause compilation and report-context errors.
    MAS 9.2: This version introduced official compatibility for BIRT 4.21 to align with its upgrade to Java 25. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
      If you are developing or editing reports, ensure your IBM Maximo Manage BIRT Report Designer matches your suite version: [1]
      For MAS 9.0/9.1, download BIRT 4.16.
      For MAS 9.2, download BIRT 4.21. [1]

      Thanks for replying.

      I am aware of the version compatibility between Maximo Manage and BIRT designer. I'm having trouble setting up the development environment.

      Also BIRT desinger all-in-one comes with bundled Java runtime so the Java deployed in my system doesn't really matter.
