Hi Team,
I have a query related to this issue
“java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid version number: Version number may be negative or greater than 255"
Let me brief you few analysis part
As currently we are using "com.ibm.icu_3.6.1.v20070906.jar" jar in our project.
This jar is getting used in reporting tool(Birt report) of our product.
In recent months we upgraded our product java to 8.0.6.15 version but our reporting tool throws this error
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid version number: Version number may be negative or greater than 255
at com.ibm.icu.util.VersionInfo.getInstance(VersionInfo.java:194)
at com.ibm.icu.impl.ICUDebug.getInstanceLenient(ICUDebug.java:65)
At previous , I approached icu-support with short analysis over this issue.
we got response at that time i.e "this issue fixed in icu4j.jar(of version 68).So you can use this version of jar".
Later we analysed more and test , found we are using "com.ibm.icu_3.6.1.v20070906.jar" in the reporting tool not icu4j.jar.
Further we upgarded our java version to 8.0.6.20,8.0.6.25 & 8.0.6.30. Finally we are using java 8.0.6.30 now. And still our birt repoting tool throwing the same error which we got on 8.0.6.15 version of java.
Although the error was in Birt module so I checked with Eclipse support who managed this Birt project. But they directed me that this is an ICU4J issue.
As we analysed deeply the issue and found the source of exception is from versionInfo.class. We know there is a check placed in versionInfo.class to check the minor/macro version of java and it hardcoded as 255.
But java version start from 8.0.6.15(261) exceeding the limit of 255.It is the main source of issue.
As downgrading java version 8.0.6.10 also works here to solve this issue , but it is not good approach.
For testing scenario , we modified the code of versionInfo.java and replace the 255 check to some higher version such as 301 or 311.
And our testing results show no error afterwards.
As per your old communication i.e this issue fixed in 68 version of icu4j.jar
I tried to find out the references ,
https://unicode-org.atlassian.net/browse/ICU-21295
unicode-org/icu#1245
https://unicode-org.atlassian.net/browse/ICU-21219
https://github.com/unicode-org/icu/blob/main/icu4j/main/classes/core/src/com/ibm/icu/util/VersionInfo.java#L294
I also found one link of github which having code commits indicating the fix.
unicode-org/icu@ab08fac
At next , part of testing area we also did the same change in VersionInfo.class(com.ibm.icu_3.6.1.v20070906.jar) as provided in above link of code commit to resolve this issue.
But we found same issue occured in this testing.
This is our main concern/query
we are using this jar com.ibm.icu_3.6.1.v20070906.jar, I believe in order to fix this issue we have to place new jar of com.ibm.icu*.
*Is this code commit sufficient to resolve this issue? or any other code changes is required? as in our env this change not worked.
unicode-org/icu@ab08fac
In which version of com.ibm.icu this issue got fixed?
How we can get the fixed jar of com.ibm.icu version?
Icu4j jar of version 68/69 got release which including the fix of this issue(as communicated).
I did not found any reference which showing the release of these jars com.ibm.icu , Can you please let us aware who is responsible for the release of newer version com.ibm.icu* jars.
Kindly let us know.
Please help us to resolve this issue, we are blocked due to it.
Thanks
I tried to generate a PDF with the example report from https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=562873

Hi,
I use embedded BIRT 4.8.0 (runtime environment) but I noticed it uses batik 1.7, which has many (security) issues.
Any idea when 4.9.0 will be released?
I only see the following: "Latest snapshot repository towards 4.9.0" but any idea when 4.9.0 will be released?
Thank you
To be able to analyse the results of a test run in GitHub Actions, the test results should be preserved after the build has ended.
I have an Oomph setup file laying around in my fork and would love to integrate it into the real deal (and maybe even get it into the official Oomph catalogue). 😁 I just have to find the time to create the necessary pull requests...
This API was deprecated and removed in eclipse 4.20
Before we start accepting bug fixes after 4.9, I suggest moving all code to Java 11 and reformat/cleanup all source code.
The test data like this leads to test failures:
<extended-item extensionName="RotatedText" name="testExtendedItem" id="252">
<property name="displayText">rtl direction RotatedText BEGIN</property>
<property name="bidiTextDirection">rtl</property>
</extended-item>
it seems that displayText is no longer valid for this element and ignored by parser
Sorry, doing this in my holiday, so I cannot communicate over birt-dev. I'm trying to create some PRs to fix some bugs as I announced in birt-dev.
Wim said that the Travis build is working. But after cloning a fresh fork of the GubtHub repo,
mvn package -DskipTests
does not work for me (I'm using JDK8).
It results in

Am I missing an important point?
These build problems were the main reason why I forked hvbtup/birt from flugtiger/birt instead of directly from eclipse/birt.

Maybe I can make it happy by including this in the birt target. I'll give that a try.
I'm aware of the following vulnerabilities related to axis 1.4:
CVE-2019-0227 | Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
CVE-2018-8032 | Cross-site scripting (XSS)
CVE-2014-3596 | SSL spoofing
CVE-2012-5784 | SSL spoofing
CVE-2007-2353 | Request non-existent WSDL file reveals AXIS installation path
Axis 1.4 is used for SOAP communication in the viewer. The Orbit plugin org.apache.axis_1.4.0.v201411182030.jar embeds axis.jar which hasn't changed since 2006. A github repository for axis 1.4 has been kept up to date however: https://github.com/apache/axis-axis1-java which contains fixes for all of these bugs except possibly CVE-2007-2353. The jar file can be rebuilt from this repository and I have done this successfully for one of our clients.
I'm not sure what the right approach is for this.
I welcome comments.
Hello,
I am running on macosx Catalina. I cloned the latest repo and successfully built. However, it appears as if the all-in-one only built for win32? Is there something I can do such that it will build for mac osx?
Thanks so much,
Ann BZ
The spudsoft emitter uses the table of contents entries for tab naming. POI and/or Excel has some restrictions on what characters can comprise a tab name, and this can lead errors that can be data-dependent. Additionally there is a size limit on the name but the emitter code doesn't take that into account when searching for duplicate names, which can also lead to errors. The latter issue is definitely a bug. For the first issue I think it would be acceptable for the emitter to edit the names before setting them, although this might be a matter of opinion. Please leave comments as to whether you agree.
Related bugzilla: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=441382
I can implement these fixes but I don't know of yaytay (spudsoft author) is still involved.
In order to compile with recent java compilers, the dependencies need to be a little more explicit in some cases.
The pipeline should execute mvn clean verify and avoid skipping tests.
If some tests cannot be fixed shortly we need to manage this with the dedicated tickets
Jetty component required for viewer is missing. I tried this in Eclipse 4.14 and 4.19 RC1. The viewer hasn't worked on Linix since 4.6. Bugzilla entry: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=517662. The bugzilla entry doesn't explicitly state that it's a Linux issue but that's been my experience.

This is quite hard to explain with words.
Say you have created a new 2-column table item.
If you try to drag the column widths with the mouse to make e.g. the first column ca. 3 cm wide, this results in the first column having a width of (available-width - 3 cm).
This did not happen in BIRT 4.2.1.
OTOH, in BIRT 4.2.1, dragging the column width of any column caused every column to have a fixed width - and the table as a whole, too.
Now, in the 2-column example, the second column has no specified width - which is good.
When coaching, I always tell users to not use the mouse to set column widths, because I think it's usually much better if the table and at least one column do not have a specified width. With newer BIRT releases, this recommendation is no longer as important as before.
I guess this issue and the changed behavior in comparison to 4.2.1 are closely related.
I'll try to fix this myself after I'll have created PRs for some other bugs.
We have a curious way of consuming apache Fop. It would be nice if Apache Fop would live in the Orbit project to consume it from there instead of letting the maven build download it.
Created as collateral of issue "How to import BIRT code into eclipse #628"
I have a client that wants to disable multi-sheet generation in the xlsx emitter.
Coincidentally, this bug was just created yesterday: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=573117
The spudsoft emitter recognizes a render option "SINGLE_SHEET", which looks like it will do this but I can't find any provision in the viewer to set that option. It would be ideal if this option could be set globally in viewer.properties and also passed as a URL parameter such as __single_sheet=true/false or __xlsx_options=single_sheet/multi_sheet.
Please let me know if this capability already exists and I missed it, or if there's any reason not to implement it as I suggested.

I have not been successful at importing the BIRT code into eclipse without there being errors. I've tried several methods of importing, including importing existing project at the root level, importing existing project for each individual project, and importing existing maven project at the root level, with varying results. I'd like to know if anyone has been able to get the code imported without any errors and specifically how to do it.
I have a report that works via a URL in the 4.6 viewer but does not work in the 4.9 viewer because a space in a string parameter is being encoded to   and passed on to the prepared statement and the database server (MySQL) doesn't like it at all. This seems to happen regardless of how or whether the space is encoded in the URL. I am continuing to investigate this and may resolve it on my own. If I can't I'll create a simple example to reproduce the behavior.
Ed @merks, when you have time, can you whip up a setup for us as you did for WB?

I am currently moving BIRT to 2021 via the issue: How to import BIRT code into eclipse #628
CVE-2018-8013 appears to be addressed by JIRA issue BATIK-1222 which changed AbstractDocument.java which is part of the batik.dom jar. It was fixed in batik 1.10 but the version of that jar used by BIRT is 1.9. Unfortunately neither SVN comments nor JIRA issues specifically reference CVE numbers, but I'm pretty sure this was the fix. Recommend upgrading to batik 1.13. I'm already in the process of doing this in 4.8 and will apply the change to 4.9 when I'm done.
Currently, there is no automated feature to publish the BIRT-Runtime to Maven. Wouldn't it be nice to fix this.
They point to 4.4 but should point to 4.9
See below. why does it build twice?
To speed up the build process with tycho and to be able to use the same target definition in eclipse that tycho uses, a target definition module should be added according to the following docs: https://wiki.eclipse.org/Tycho/Packaging_Types#eclipse-target-definition
Hi,
Does Birt support export chart in SVG format into PowerPoint slides? If no is there is any idea or plan how/when that feature be added ?
Thanks For Help
Move all projects to Java 11
All versions must be set to 4.9.0
POI 3.9 contains a number of vulnerabilities:
CVE-2017-12626
CVE-2017-5644
CVE-2016-5000
CVE-2014-9527
CVE-2014-3574
CVE-2014-3529
that I know about. POI 4.1.1 does not have these vulnerabilities and is available on orbit but the interfaces are somewhat incompatible. I'm presently working on this for a client in 4.8 and can apply these to 4.9 after I finish.
This is a bugzilla about vulnerabilities in multiple plugins including axis, derby, batik and poi: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=522431. I think it might be more manageable to break them out into individual issues.
...they should be added to .gitignore
GitHub Actions seems to be the way forward to use for GitHub-hosted projects. Let's switch to GitHub Actions:
i am using birt rptdesings and birt viewer running on same system. By using the context-params its evaluating the local path and its starts rendering. Can we make a rest call to external system to download rptdesign and place it in the context-params local path before rendering.
Jetty is no longer in the release train. This has the following drawbacks:
This was causing the viewer to break when installing 4.9 (from Mar 17 2021) into 4.19.
The BIRT feature included the o.e.jetty.osgi.boot bundle which clashed with newer jetty versions. This inclusion was removed with commit 161d153
To install the viewer correctly the jetty 9.x update site must be added to the available update sites.
We need to find a fix for it.
The report viewer in the latest build is failing again. See attached stacktrace.
log.txt
Will the BIRT designer continue to be managed? I can't seem to find where to download it. I can't even find the standalone designer.
I did find this project: https://github.com/SaMuellerDLR/birt
However the runtime engine doesn't work with the newest eclipse.
What happened to the Java and Report Developers version of eclipse?
I have a couple of pull requests that are failing the CI build. I want to replicate these test failures locally so I can debug and see what exactly is causing the failure but I haven't been able to replicate the CI failures. I do what I can to build and test exactly like what I see in the CI logs but, while my build succeeds, the tests fail in completely different ways from the CI tests. I suspect there are environmental differences, such as the mvn settings file, which is opaque to me. Is it possible to provide instructions on how to replicate the CI tests?
Update 2021-07-08: I am attempting to determine why github CI is failing for recent pull requests by reverting the code to a state where the CI succeeded and seeing what has changed.
The build uses old classes from the JDK. Specifically, native2ascii is used from tools.jar, which is no longer shipped with newer JDK's.
Recent ANT has a built-in implementation for native2ascii. Switching to antrun 3.0.0 will resolve the issue when compiling with a newer JDK.
The file CONTRIBUTING.md seems to contain the Eclipse.org login page html.
@waynebeaton you added this file, what was your intention?
Hi guys,
I've been using BIRT since a long time (even working for Actuate, before it went bought by OpenText), and i'm happy to see that a "new community" is getting built around the OpenSource Version again.
We were using the Plugin version 4.7.0.v201706222054 with Eclipse 2019-09 (4.13.0) and we had problem to open existing rptdesign. After having updated the plugin to the last version you guys built (4.9.0.v202108150822), all went fine, cheers!!
Our rptdesign are embedded into a Java Application which uses the Birt Runtime Engine to render reports as PDF. In order to get the engine, our application has the following dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.eclipse.birt.runtime</groupId>
<artifactId>org.eclipse.birt.runtime</artifactId>
<version>4.4.2</version>
</dependency>
Looking at the central Maven Repository, it seems that nothing's really moving with BIRT Runtime: https://search.maven.org/classic/#search%7Cgav%7C1%7Cg%3A%22org.eclipse.birt.runtime%22%20AND%20a%3A%22org.eclipse.birt.runtime%22
Do you have somewhere a kind of supported product matrix which would provide the following information:
Thanks!!
Hi,
I'm having some troubles in using Birt with images. In particular, consider that I have created a report that uses dynamic data in HTML form.
Such HTML comes from my database, and most of the time contains an image:
<html lang="en">Boh, sta cos&igrave; cos&igrave;
<img src="data:image/png;base64,whateverBase64Image" />
Veh che fot</html>
The problem is that whenever I proceed to PDF report generation with this HTML embedded image it shows: The resource of this report item is not reachable
Thank you a lot for your help! - Francesco
Version: [2.5.1]

I've set up a complete report and when I want to preview this in web viewer, the page footer is in the middle of the page. Also, if i try to print the report, it will be right after the content instead of in the bottom. It seems to be floating. I can't find how to adjust this setting.
Expected result:
Page footer displays at the end of the report.
Actual result:
Page footer displayed in the middle of the report right after the last content.
Note - When exporting the report to a PDF and print it from there, the page footer is at the bottom. this Only happens in web viewer/html.
I know you asked for the RPT file, unfortunately, the files is within two remote desktops and I currently can't get it to my main computer. Hope the photos works, if not, let me know.
