Copy the ClearQuest Reporting Driver plug-ins to the plugins directory
of the BIRT Report Designer to enable reporting from ClearQuest data

Before you begin
ClearQuest supports only a subset of the Report Designer RCP
software versions available in the Business Intelligence and Reporting
tools collection. Before beginning the installation, review
technote 1509579 to determine which version
to install.
The ClearQuest Reporting Driver requires the Java Runtime
Environment (JRE) version 1.6.0 or higher. Reporting tools that use
older versions of the Java Runtime Environment cannot load and use
the ClearQuest Reporting Driver. If you already have a Java Runtime
Environment installed on your system, run this command from a command
prompt to check the version number:java -version.
