------------------------------------------------

{quote}(2015-11-20 10:59:42) nickboldt: do you want me to try to include the 9.3.5 versions of the two plugins that Birt needs, instead of the 9.2.9 versions?
(2015-11-20 11:01:58) akazakov: nickboldt, yes
(2015-11-20 11:02:34) akazakov: nickboldt, I just doubt that 9.2.9 and 9.3.5 can so-exist safely
(2015-11-20 11:03:05) nickboldt: akazakov: well, it's only 2 plugins
(2015-11-20 11:03:44) nickboldt: and we (anything in JBT/JBDS) don't depend on jetty.osgi.boot or jetty.deploy... it's just birt that needs them
(2015-11-20 11:03:51) nickboldt: but I can see if moving to 9.3.5 works{quote}

If you will look into jetty.deploy you will notice that it requires a lot of jetty plugins. So actually it's not only two plugins. It looks like they don't ship any other plugins because they should be shipped by Eclipse. Bad news is that this approach will not work starting from 9.3.4(actually from 9.3.5 since there is only RC1 for 9.3.4). Can we do something for them?

> (2015-11-17 11:42:50) kmarmaliykov: nickboldt: I look into neon M3 and see that there is no jetty 9.2.9 there
> (2015-11-17 11:43:18) nickboldt: kmarmaliykov: yes, 9.2.9 is from Birt site
> (2015-11-17 11:43:21) nickboldt: because Birt needs it
> (2015-11-17 11:43:33) nickboldt: but there's no Birt for Neon yet so we have to include the Birt for Mars
> (2015-11-17 11:43:37) maxandersen: nickboldt: akazakov: are you talking about having birt in Neon ? 
> (2015-11-17 11:43:44) maxandersen: afaik birt is dead.
> (2015-11-17 11:43:53) maxandersen: won't participate in neon release afaik.
> (2015-11-17 11:43:56) nickboldt: maxandersen: so we should remove birt from JBT 4.4?
> (2015-11-17 11:44:24) maxandersen: well, check first if birt is actually in neon. if it is not the decision is very easy.
> (2015-11-17 11:44:38) akazakov: +1
> (2015-11-17 11:45:36) maxandersen: if it is in, then lets talk options. but if birt requires us to jump through too many hoops its not worth keeping it in.
> (2015-11-17 11:45:55) nickboldt: birt 4.5.0.v201506092134 is in Neon from 201511131000 (M3) - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/neon/201511131000/
> (2015-11-17 11:47:08) nickboldt: and there's a newer birt 4.5.0.v201510231925 (same major.minor.service, newer datestamp) in http://download.eclipse.org/birt/update-site/mars-interim/ 
> {quote}
> So, yesterday as part of updates for JBIDE-20976, I pulled a new BIRT mirror here:
> http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/requirements/birt/4.5.0.v201510231925/
> But we could also just use the old one from Mars.0:
> http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/requirements/birt/4.5.0.v201506092134/
> Or we could remove support for BIRT and its webtools / charting integration entirely from JBT 4.4.0.Alpha1, since as Max says BIRT is at EOL.
> *DISCUSS*.
