Use of the Ecore ODA Driver is covered [[Ecore ODA Driver|here]].
  
Once these dependencies have been met, you can run the BIRT Report Designer (after you have installed [http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/ BIRT], of course) and create a new report.  You might want to use the sample [http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.emf/org.eclipse.emf/tests/org.eclipse.emf.test.tools/data/ant.expected/models/1.4/creation/library.xsds/emf/library.ecore?root=Modeling_Project&view=co library.ecore] and [http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.emf/org.eclipse.emf/tests/org.eclipse.emf.test.tools/data/ant.expected/models/1.4/creation/library.xsds/emf/elements.ecore?root=Modeling_Project&view=co elements.ecore] to get started.  When adding a Data Source, a new type will display <tt>Ecore ODA Data Source</tt> and the wizard will allow you to choose an ecore file.  Selecting and naming this Data Source and giving the name of an ecore file will allow you to enter a new Data Set.  This is, however, pretty much the end of the line. As explained in [[#Status|Status]], above, the code is not yet complete. Column selection has not been implemented and the code currently in CVS does not correctly persist preferences.

Introduction

The Ecore ODA Driver is a proposed component of the DTP Incubator project. It provides the ability to query Ecore models using OCL by implementing the Open Data Access (ODA) API. The restriction to use OCL (text-based) queries is based on the design of the ODA API. EMF Queries may be supported at runtime in the future.

Status

Initial code has been committed (see CVS on the Ecore ODA Driver page) and is basically functional. The UI, in particular, requires some finish work.

Contribution tracked at Bugzilla 132958.

It is hoped that a useful release will be complete in time for Galileo.

Getting Started

Use of the Ecore ODA Driver is covered here.

Downloads

The plug-ins are available from the Eclipse Data Tools Platform (DTP) Project Downloads page in the DTP Incubating Component - ODA Ecore section towards the bottom of the page.
