If you chose to
install new updates, you will have to complete an extra step in choosing the list of
repositories to search for new software. Because BIRT has been a member of the
Eclipse consortium since 2004, the BIRT project is listed under the sites to include in
your search. You will not need to add BIRT as a new repository to search under. This
makes things much easier.
However, as BIRT is collaborating with a number of other Eclipse projects in order to
leverage their tools??”such as the Web Tools Project for site deployment and the Data
Tools Project for a future revision of the query editor inside of BIRT??”you will need
to include other repositories as well in your update search path.

I recommend at least all of the sites listed in the following screenshot:

Now, with the correct repositories selected, you can click Finish. A list of mirrors
will be shown for each repository given. I will typically use the default or first on the
list, but this is up to the user. A rule of thumb is to choose a location close to you.
Once you have chosen all of your sites, you will be brought to the package selection
screen. Here you can choose which packages to install. BIRT, of course, and all BIRT
packages should be chosen.

Sometimes, you will get a notice that a required package has not been chosen.
