[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-4779) Birt docs is unusable

[Michael Sorokin (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-4779?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12490080#action_12490080 ] 

Michael Sorokin commented on JBIDE-4779:
----------------------------------------

I think the best way to improve the guide is to just rewrite it from the scratch.  
Prakash and Snjezana, what do you think about the TOC (table of contents) of the guide?
The current talk looks like this:

1. Introduction

    1.1. What is BIRT?
    1.2. Key Features of BIRT
    1.3. JBoss BIRT Integration Functionality Overview
    1.4. Other Relevant Resources on the Topic

2. Adding BIRT Functionality to Standard Seam Web Project

    2.1. Creating Seam Web Project with Birt Facet
    2.2. Integration with Seam

3. Hibernate ODA Data Source
4. BIRT Reports Deployment

Do  you have any suggestions, ideas on how the TOK can be reorganized? What can be added/excluded?

> The documentation for Birt integration wtih JBoss tools is completely broken.  Flow of the documentation, language etc are secondary.
> Primarily many of the examples that are included are completely broken.  It would take forever for users to figure out what is missing.
> Example: Page 30 that talks about inserting Birt in Seam pages, is broken.  Where are the files like BirtProductsPDF etc ?
> How do users create those files ?  There are no instruction on how to create them, nor where to obtain them from.
