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.

{
					IWorkbenchPart part = PlatformUI.getWorkbench( )
							.getActiveWorkbenchWindow( )
							.getPartService( )
							.getActivePart( );
					if ( part instanceof AbstractMultiPageEditor )
					{
						IEditorPart epart = ( (AbstractMultiPageEditor) part ).getActivePageInstance( );
						if ( epart instanceof GraphicalEditorWithFlyoutPalette )
						{
							GraphicalViewer viewer = ( (GraphicalEditorWithFlyoutPalette) epart ).getGraphicalViewer( );
							Object cpart = viewer.getEditPartRegistry( )
									.get( element );
							if ( cpart instanceof EditPart )
							{
								viewer.flush( );
								viewer.select( (EditPart) cpart );
							}
							if ( edit && cpart instanceof LabelEditPart )
							{
								( (LabelEditPart) cpart ).performDirectEdit( );
							}
						}
					}
				}
			}
		} );
