This part is what makes the All-in-One installation method preferable to the manual
installation of plug-ins. Another reason is that this is the avenue in which I have
traditionally encountered most installation problems, such as dependency problems.
In order to proceed, you must first make sure that the following dependency
packages are installed with BIRT:
BIRT 2.2 BIRT 2.1
Eclipse 3.3 Eclipse 3.2
Graphical Editor Framework 3.3 Graphical Editor Framework 3.2
Eclipse Modeling Framework 2.3 Eclipse Modeling Framework 2.2
Java Runtime Environment 1.5 Java Runtime Environment 1.4.2
Data Tools Project 1.5
These requirements can be installed separately alongside your BIRT plug-in
installation, given that you include the appropriate repositories. Plug-in installation
is done through the Eclipse Software Update menu, located under the Help toolbar
menu, under Software Updates.

Once in the software update tool, there are two options you can select: You have
the option of searching for updates, or to install new features. If you do not already
have BIRT installed, you should choose Install New Features. Otherwise, you can get
updates for your existing BIRT installation by choosing Search for updates.
If you choose to update existing software, the software update tool will prompt
you to verify your repositories or mirror sites to check for updates.
