Good point Scott, we discussed it indeed
https://lists.apache.org/[email protected]:gte=7y:add%20BIRT%20branch%20to%20trunk.
I had not the guts to deep into all details, but yes you and others expressed
concerns then: https://s.apache.org/GyKu
The most important point here is more that AFAIK these files are not even
needed!

I'm curious as to how it was ever added, when the birt component was first
introduced I'm pretty sure we agreed to not include this part of it because
of licensing concerns.

Hi,
plugins/birt/webapp/birt/webcontent is a part of the birt component but
AFAIK is not used by OFBiz.
Also Birt is licensed under EPL, it's category B
http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-b <
http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-b>, so files should
be
only provided in object/binary form
So I think we need to remove this code. I was able to generate a PDF and
a
XLS report after removing this part, so I think it's OK w/o it.
I also tried the new Birt feature (Flexible Reports) and it works with
any
kind of format provided.
I begin the documentation of this new part and will let you know when
it's
done...

If the code is not used then I cast a great +1 for its removal.
