Bug 199751 getProperty(...) returns null
I created report with user property called "version". Later i need to access that property using BIRT Runtime. I access it using getProperty() method: Report: <list-property name="userProperties"> <structure> <property name="name">version</property> <property name="type">string</property> <property name="isVisible">true</property> </structure> </list-property> <property name="version">1.0</property> Accesing using BIRT Runtime: ReportRunnable reportDesign = engine.openReportDesign("Report.rptdesign"); String version = reportDesign.getProperty("version"); When there's a library linked to Report.rptdesign, version is null. When i remove the library from report design, getProperty() returns correct value.

		ReportDesign design = new ReportDesign( source.getSession( ) );
		design.setFileName( source.getFileName( ) );
		design.setSystemId( source.getSystemId( ) );
		ModuleOption options = source.getOptions( );
		try
		{
			if ( options != null )
				design.setOptions( ( (ModuleOption) options.copy( ) ) );
		}
		catch ( CloneNotSupportedException e )
		{
			assert false;
		}
		localizePropertyValues( source, design );
