Bug 116706 Bad Class Cast in IDEReportEditor.java
So I'm trying to open a report with BIRT/Eclipse API using the BIRT 2.0 nightly build code (as of 11/16/2005). the file IDEReportEditor.java method private IFile getFile( IEditorInput input ) { return ( (ReportFileEditorInput) input ).getFile( ); } However, input can be ReportEditorInput which is also an IEditorInput (to support reports found outside projects and workspaces) which doesn't even have a getFile() method on it. This causes a deeply nested exception that causes the report desinger to not be able to show a report that might be physically located outside a workspace.

catch ( InterruptedException e )
		{
			return false;
		}
		catch ( InvocationTargetException e )
		{
			Throwable realException = e.getTargetException( );
			ExceptionHandler.handle( realException );
			return false;
		}
		return true;
	}
	private void doFinish( IPath locationPath, String fileName,
			InputStream stream, IProgressMonitor monitor )
	{
		
		monitor.beginTask( CREATING + fileName, 2 );
		final File file = new File( locationPath.toString( ), fileName );
		try
		{
			File container = new File( locationPath.toString( ) );
			if ( !container.exists( ) )
			{
				container.mkdirs( );
			}
			FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream( file );
			byte[] buff = new byte[stream.available( )];
			stream.read( buff );
			out.write( buff );
			out.close( );
