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.rcp/src/org/eclipse/birt/report/designer/ui/internal/rcp/wizards/NewReportWizard.java
newReportFileWizardPage.setInitialFileName( getNewFileFullName( NEW_REPORT_FILE_NAME_PREFIX ) );
		newReportFileWizardPage.setInitialFileLocation( getDefaultLocation( ) );
	}
	/**
	 * Get the defualt location for the provided name.
	 * 
	 * @return the location
	 */
	private String getDefaultLocation( )
	{
		IPath defaultPath = Platform.getLocation( );
		return defaultPath.toOSString( );
	}
	private String getNewFileFullName( String defaultName )
	{
		String extension = NEW_REPORT_FILE_EXTENSION;
		String path = getDefaultLocation( );
		String name = defaultName + extension;
		int count = 0;
		File file;
		file = new File( path, name );
		while ( file.exists( ) )
		{
			count++;
			name = defaultName + "_" + count + extension; 
			file = null;
			file = new File( path, name );
		}
		file = null;
		return name;
