BIRT Report Issue
I have been searching through the forums, support and eclipse.org but I cannot seem to locate any info related to an issue I've run into trying to setup an RTC client (3.0)for Birt report design.
I have installed the required eclipse plug-ins:
WTP: Web and Java EE Development > Web Developer Tools (3.1.2)
EMF: Models and Model Development > EMF SDK - Eclipse Modeling Framework SDK (2.5.0)
DTP: Database Development > Data Tools Platform (1.7.2). Install all of the Data Tools packages.
BIRT: 2.5.2.
The plug-ins install without error, restarting RTC after each one is installed. After switching the the Report Design perspective none of the views in the perspective show any information; ex. Palette says "A palette is not available", similar msgs in Data Explorer, Resource Explorer and Property Editor.
When I finish the New Report wizard a warning dialog pops, saying; "The opening design file is not a valid design file or the file does not exist."
THe report then opens in the source (xml) tab and I get the following msg when trying to switch to any of the reports other tabs I get the follwoing msg; "Error in XML Source Page must be corrected before other pages can be used."
Has anyone run into this error before?
I cannot see anything in the XML that looks incorrect and I have no issue with another RTC 3.0 client with the Report Design persepective, though it is connected to a sperate server.

I also encountered the same error, and I have the impression that it popped-up *after* I had put my 'Report Project' under RTC SCM - right-clicked the 'Report Project' and 'Team Share'.
I re-created a 'Report Project', did not put it under SCM, and I do not have this error anymore. My 2-cents ...

Interesting, that definitely did the trick for me as well. Great tip, thank you very much.
I'm wondering now if the report templates need to be setup in the scm project or maybe some type of reference to the directory where they live needs to be defined in the projects preferences/properties.
I also need to chk on my development system, I do not recall if I had set it up in an scm project or not.
Thanks again.
