PDT also depends specifically on the chart support:

*18:48:31* [0]Missing requirement: PDT Profiler UI Plug-in 7.0.0.201912041612 
(org.eclipse.php.profile.ui 7.0.0.201912041612) requires 'osgi.bundle; 
org.eclipse.birt.chart.engine 0.0.0' but it could not be found

Note that BIRT's contribution is based on an Oxygen version.

Who will volunteer to manage BIRT's reduced, oxygen-level contribution and also manage any future builds that may or may not be required in the longer term?

Yes the feature is still there https://github.com/eclipse/birt/blob/master/features/org.eclipse.birt.chart.feature/feature.xml . If that's enough for MAT it should work.

        Fred,

        We're definitely on the path to greatness again.? Many teams
        have taken
        action so the RC1 report is much improved:

        
https://download.eclipse.org/oomph/archive/reports/download.eclipse.org/releases/2019-12/http___download.eclipse.org_releases_2019-12_201912061000.html

        Special thanks to the Eclipse Collections team who I know
        invested
        significant time.

        There are unfortunately some hold-outs that continue to
        reflect poorly
        on our group's results:

        These outstanding bugs are open for each of the bad license
        problems
        because it appears that these contributors are not reading
        cross-projects:

        *Please pay attention t4me, uml2, m2e, m2e-wtp, mylyn docs,
        and xwt teams.*

        Also, given that the Reporting package has been removed I would
        recommend removing BIRT itself from SimRel.?? This content is
        more than
        two years old with bad licenses and with the only remaining
        unsigned
        content. ? I don't hold out hope that there will be a new
        build so I've
        *not *opened a Bugzilla. *
        *
        *
        *
        *Does BIRT removal affect anyone?*

        Regards,
        Ed

        Yes, Eclipse Memory Analyzer uses BIRT for graphing of memory
        usage. We would not have any pie charts if BIRT was removed,
        both dynamic charts in the overview pane and HTML charts in
        reports. The pie charts shown on our home page
        https://www.eclipse.org/mat/and here
        https://www.eclipse.org/mat/about/overview.pngand here
        
https://help.eclipse.org/2019-09/topic/org.eclipse.mat.ui.help/tasks/listbiggestobjects.htmlis
        generated by BIRT.

        Fortunately the graphing is in a separate feature, so it would
        not break the rest of the tool, but it is useful for us. We
        only have a small team and don't have the time or expertise to
        use a new graphing package. If it has to be removed then we
        need plenty of notice, and ideally some help in writing code
to use a replacement. Please keep BIRT.

    Is it a possibility BIRT contribution to be shrinked to charting
    feature only? IIRC chart was separate feature in birt . We moved
    to swtchart from BIRT chart in Linux Tools and never looked back.



        Thanks,
