Eclipse Oxygen - ReporEngine.openReportDesign( reportFile ); fails [message #1784776]

code snippet:

public IReportEngine getEngine()
{
if( enginePool.isEmpty() ) {
// .... wait
return null;
}
else {
IReportEngine engine = enginePool.remove( 0 );
return engine;
}
}

// help to create engine pool
private static IReportEngine createReportEngine( boolean startPlatform )
{
// configure engine
EngineConfig config = new EngineConfig();
config.setEngineHome( "F:\\workdir\\units\\unit_0_asa\\build\\WEB-INF\\lib\\birt_47\\birt-runtime-4.7.0-20170622\\ReportEngine" );
config.setLogConfig( "F:/workdir/units/unit_0_asa/birt/logs/test.log", Level.FINEST );
try
{
if( startPlatform )
Platform.startup( config );
}
catch( BirtException e )
{
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
IReportEngineFactory factory =
(IReportEngineFactory) Platform.createFactoryObject( IReportEngineFactory.EXTENSION_REPORT_ENGINE_FACTORY );
IReportEngine reportEngine = factory.createReportEngine( config );
reportEngine.changeLogLevel( Level.FINEST );
return reportEngine;
}

reportEngine = getInstance().getEngine();
// load report
String reportFile = "F:/report/hello_world.rptdesign";
IReportRunnable runnable = reportEngine.openReportDesign( reportFile );

This fails in org.eclipse.birt.report.model.core.DesignElement.initSlots( ) because member variable cachedDefn is null.

Is there a way around this problem? Another method call maybe where cachedDefn is bypassed?

Exception:
java.lang.NullPointerException[main 2018-04-03 21:50:17] BIRT: release engine to the report engine pool ...
