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.

if ( iteHolder[0] != null )
					{
						throw iteHolder[0];
					}
				}
				public void execute( final IProgressMonitor monitor )
						throws CoreException, InvocationTargetException,
						InterruptedException
				{
					try
					{
						doSave( monitor );
					}
					catch ( Exception e )
					{
						ExceptionHandler.handle( e );
					}
				}
			};
			try
			{
				new ProgressMonitorDialog( getSite( ).getWorkbenchWindow( )
						.getShell( ) ).run( false, true, op );
			}
			catch ( Exception e )
			{
				ExceptionHandler.handle( e );
			}
		}
