Bug 176875 BIRT viewer - WTP integration - web.xml file created has blank values
When you create a BIRT web project, the web.xml file has lot of blank default values, which is very confusing to understand. Some users commented about it during the eclipse conference. Suggestions 1) BIRT_VIEWER_WORKING_FOLDER - set the default value 2) BIRT_VIEWER_MAX_ROWS - Write a comment above, saying by default all rows are shown, also explain the user of this variable. 3) BIRT_RESOURCE_PATH - This should specify the default value or atleast put a comment indicating where is it picked from. This is very confusing. 4) General It would be good to put a onew line comment on all.
