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.ide/src/org/eclipse/birt/report/designer/ui/editors/IDEMultiPageReportEditor.java
} );
				}
			}
			else if ( delta.getKind( ) == IResourceDelta.CHANGED )
			{
				final IFile newFile = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace( )
						.getRoot( )
						.getFile( delta.getFullPath( ) );
				Display display = getSite( ).getShell( ).getDisplay( );
				if ( ( delta.getFlags( ) & IResourceDelta.MARKERS ) == 0 )
				{
					
					
					
					display.asyncExec( new Runnable( ) {
						public void run( )
						{
						}
					} );
				}
