While trying to use a Scripted Data Source within BIRT Report Designer I ran across this error:
BIRT ReferenceError: <OBJECT> is not defined
Where OBJECT is any Java class. My Java class was very simple.
I verified my JAR file was in the plugin scriptlib folder
C:\eclipse_birt\plugins\org.eclipse.birt.report.viewer_4.3.1.v201309171028\birt\scriptlib
My problem was that my Java class had a main[] signature for some simple testing outside of BIRT.
I removed the main[] method on the class and exported my JAR again.
BIRT Report Designer could then instantiate my Java class without error.
