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.

	protected void setDialogComplete( boolean value )
	{
		okButton.setEnabled( value );
	}
	/*
	 * (non-Javadoc) Method declared on Dialog.
	 */
	protected void okPressed( )
	{
		
		IPath path = support.getFileLocationFullPath( )
				.append( support.getFileName( ) );
		
		
		
		if ( !path.toOSString( ).endsWith( IReportEditorContants.DESIGN_FILE_EXTENTION ) )
		{
			path.addFileExtension( IReportEditorContants.DESIGN_FILE_EXTENTION );
		}
		
		File file = path.toFile( );
		if ( file.exists( ) )
		{
			String[] buttons = new String[]{
					IDialogConstants.YES_LABEL,
					IDialogConstants.NO_LABEL,
					IDialogConstants.CANCEL_LABEL
			};
