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.

if ( !error
						|| "org.eclipse.birt.report.designer.ui.editors.design.xmlsource".equals( pagedef.id ) )
				{
					addPage( pagedef.createPage( ), pagedef.displayName );
				}
			}
			catch ( Exception e )
			{
				error = true;
			}
		}
