Uploading the report design file (.rptdesign) from Eclipse to the projects/
CentraSite/Reports folder of the
CentraSite repository.
Creating an object of type Report in the
CentraSite registry.
Creating an external link between the new registry object and the repository file.

CentraSite can be linked to object types and previewed from the
CentraSite Eclipse GUI.
