Actuate supports using custom emitters to export BIRT reports to custom formats. The custom emitters in BIRT are implemented as plug-ins and packaged as JAR files. To make them available to Actuate Java Components, copy the emitters to <context-root>/WEB-INF/platform/plugins folder. Every time you deploy a custom emitter, you need to restart the product or the product service. This ensures the emitter JAR file is added to the classpath and the product can discover the new rendering format.
