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.

request.setSelectionObject( list );
					request.setType( ReportRequest.SELECTION );
					
					
					
					SessionHandleAdapter.getInstance( )
							.getMediator( )
							.notifyRequest( request );
					SessionHandleAdapter.getInstance( )
							.getMediator( )
							.pushState( );
				}
			}
			if ( getActiveEditor( ) instanceof GraphicalEditorWithFlyoutPalette )
			{
				if ( ( (GraphicalEditorWithFlyoutPalette) getActiveEditor( ) ).getGraphicalViewer( )
						.getEditDomain( )
						.getPaletteViewer( ) != null )
				{
					GraphicalEditorWithFlyoutPalette editor = (GraphicalEditorWithFlyoutPalette) getActiveEditor( );
					GraphicalViewer view = editor.getGraphicalViewer( );
					view.getEditDomain( ).loadDefaultTool( );
				}
			}
			return;
		}
