If you use JBoss Proyect Wizard to create a new proyect and select BIRT facet, this files are included at /WEB_INF/lib directory with all the other libraries of the installed BIRT version, so it should run with it !!</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>  Indeed, in order to install JBoosTools 3.1.0 Plugin you have to update your Birt version to 2.5.2, so there is no chance to use previous versions of birt.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>I hope this can help to other Seam-Birt users with the same problem.</p></div>
