## Building BIRT

BIRT is built with [Apache Maven](http://maven.apache.org) through [Tycho](https://github.com/eclipse/tycho) on [Eclipse CI](https://ci.eclipse.org/birt).

To build BIRT with the latest Eclipse platform, run:

    mvn clean verify -DskipTests=true

    

### Building environment

* JDK 21

* Maven 3.9.11

* [https://ci.eclipse.org/birt/job/build](https://ci.eclipse.org/birt/job/build/)

## Latest Version 4.22.0

## Runtime Requirements

The current version of BIRT 4.21 is runnable with JDK:

* JDK 21 (LTS)

Tomcat version support:

* Tomcat 9.0.7x, 9.0.8x, 9.0.9x, 9.0.10x (incl. 9.0.109)

  - BIRT 4.22.0 requires Tomcat to be launched with JVM argument `-add-opens=java.base/java.net=ALL-UNNAMED`.

    - This can be accomplished by setting the following environment variable before starting Tomcat.

      - `CATALINA_OPTS="-add-opens=java.base/java.net=ALL-UNNAMED"`

    - See [issue 2271](https://github.com/eclipse-birt/birt/issues/2271). 

    - See [discussion 2278](https://github.com/eclipse-birt/birt/discussions/2278). 

* Tomcat 10 & 11 is not supported due to Jakarta EE dependencies
