Bug 199751 getProperty(...) returns null
I created report with user property called "version". Later i need to access that property using BIRT Runtime. I access it using getProperty() method: Report: <list-property name="userProperties"> <structure> <property name="name">version</property> <property name="type">string</property> <property name="isVisible">true</property> </structure> </list-property> <property name="version">1.0</property> Accesing using BIRT Runtime: ReportRunnable reportDesign = engine.openReportDesign("Report.rptdesign"); String version = reportDesign.getProperty("version"); When there's a library linked to Report.rptdesign, version is null. When i remove the library from report design, getProperty() returns correct value.

DesignElement element = ModelUtil.newElement( elementTypeName, name );
		if ( targetContainment.isManagedByNameSpace( ) )
			module.rename( targetContainment.getElement( ), element );
		return element;

		MetaDataDictionary dd = MetaDataDictionary.getInstance( );
		ExtensionElementDefn extDefn = (ExtensionElementDefn) dd
				.getExtension( elementTypeName );
		if ( extDefn == null )
			return null;
		String extensionPoint = extDefn.getExtensionPoint( );
		if ( PeerExtensionLoader.EXTENSION_POINT
