After upgrading to BIRT 2.3.1 there are tons of logs:
org.eclipse.birt.report.model.metadata.ChoicePropertyType validateXml SEVERE: Not allowed choice any
Any thoughts on how to get rid of them would be appreciated.
I found a solution. When upgrading to 2.3.1, you need to get rid of references to "any" data types in all BIRT files.
IMO The easiest way is to remove all lines as shown below from * .rptdesign files.
<property name="dataType">any</property>
BIRT 2.5 error message for this situation
SEVERE: not found choice: any
Very confusing but the first answer is helpful.
