Hi,
I took a brief look at BIRT dependencies using the PDE dependency visualizer [1]. I've attached its PNG output for org.eclipse.birt.chart.device.swt and org.eclipse.birt.chart.examples (what I thought would be a decent high-level bundle). It looks like we should have most of the necessary dependencies in Fedora already (or up for review):
batik fop avalon-{framework.logkit} eclipse-emf
We'll have to add OSGi metadata matching what's in Orbit to batik, fop, and possibly avalon-*. It looks like we've already got it for commons codec. After that, I'm hoping we'll be able to use RPM Stubby [2] to help us package BIRT :)
Help is always more than welcome if anyone's interested. I can elaborate if necessary. The reason we're interested in doing this is so that once they've had a release, we can get the eclipse.org Linux Tools project's Valgrind tools [3] into Fedora.
Thanks,
Andrew

The key piece of information I needed to get it to work was that I had to right-click in the view to specify a bundle
