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.
UI/org.eclipse.birt.report.designer.ui.editors/src/org/eclipse/birt/report/designer/ui/editors/MultiPageReportEditor.java
setPageText( index, title );
		}
		try
		{
			page.init( createSite( page ), getEditorInput( ) );
			page.initialize( this );
		}
		catch ( Exception e )
		{
			removePage( index );
			throw new PartInitException( e.getMessage( ) );
		}
		return index;
	}
	/**
	 * Remove report editor page.
	 * 
	 * @param id
	 *            the page id.
	 */
	public void removePage( String id )
	{
		IFormPage page = findPage( id );
		if ( page != null )
		{
			removePage( page.getIndex( ) );
		}
	}
