BIRT: How do I include a JAR in the report?

In the BIRT book "Integrating and Extending BIRT" (2nd edition, p. 296), I've found this little piece of text:

BIRT searches locations for external classes in the order shown in the following list:

[...]

JAR files that are included in the report design.

How do I include a JAR file in the report design?

+2 A:

Under the report's properties (lower-right of the IDE) you can look down the list of available sub-groups and find "Resources". Inside this group you can specify JARS that are to be available to the report at run-time.

Shouldn't that be the Property Editor tab, rather than the Properties tab? (It might be different in different versions - I don't know.)

When I click "add", I offers a folder "Shared Resources". Where is that folder on disk?

How are you deploying your reports? To a standard J2EE web server or an Actuate iServer? The two deployments offer different options so I want to clarify.

I need the JAR in the report designer and on a J2EE web server (tomcat) where I run the viewerservlet.
