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.schematic/src/org/eclipse/birt/report/designer/ui/editors/pages/ReportXMLSourceEditorFormPage.java
Messages.getString( "XMLSourcePage.Error.Dialog.Message.Cancel" )}, 0 );
			int ret = prefDialog.open( );
			switch ( ret )
			{
				case 0 :
					doSave( null );
					break;
				case 1 :
					if ( getEditorInput( ) != null )
					{
						this.setInput( getEditorInput( ) );
					}
					break;
				case 2 :
					return false;
			}
		}
		boolean validModel = false;
		validModel = isValidModelFile( );
		if ( !validModel )
		{
			Display.getCurrent( ).beep( );
			MessageDialog.openError( Display.getCurrent( ).getActiveShell( ),
					Messages.getString( "XMLSourcePage.Error.Dialog.title" ), 
					Messages.getString( "XMLSourcePage.Error.Dialog.Message.InvalidFile" ) ); 
			return false;
		}
		return true;
	}
