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.

		String cheatSheetIdFromPage = "";
		boolean showCheatSheetFromPage = false;
		URL url = Platform.find( Platform.getBundle( ReportPlugin.REPORT_UI ),
				new Path( templateChoicePage.getTemplate( ).getReportPath( ) ) );
		if ( url != null )
		{
			try
			{
				inputData = url.openStream( );
