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/src/org/eclipse/birt/report/designer/ui/editors/MultiPageReportEditor.java
Display.getCurrent( ).asyncExec( new Runnable( ) {
				public void run( )
				{
					if ( getActivePageInstance( ) instanceof GraphicalEditorWithFlyoutPalette )
					{
						GraphicalEditorWithFlyoutPalette editor = (GraphicalEditorWithFlyoutPalette) getActivePageInstance( );
						GraphicalViewer view = editor.getGraphicalViewer( );
						UIUtil.resetViewSelection( view, true );
					}
				};
			} );
			if ( getEditorInput( ).exists( ) )
			{
				handleActivation( );
				SessionHandleAdapter.getInstance( )
						.setReportDesignHandle( getModel( ) );
				DataSetManager.initCurrentInstance( getEditorInput( ) );
			}
		}
