As of BIRT 2.0, the BIRT ODA run-time framework has been migrated to the Eclipse Data Tools Platform (DTP) project. It is replaced by the org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.oda packages.
It can be used by an ODA consumer and/or a data provider
to discover the plug-in extension configuration.
The utility's initial entry point is the singleton ManifestExplorer
.
It provides the service to explore all the static
ODA data source extensions, and access to each
extension's configuration information specified
in its plug-in manifest file.
The content of such ODA data source extension configuration
is encapsulated in an ExtensionManifest
and its
associated objects.
@since 2.0.0
