Changes the units displayed by the ruler in the layout editor. If you set to
different units, notice that the ruler changes.

> 2 Resource files are used for?
Resource files are used to localize text in a label or text element, so that
you can display the text in different languages, depending on your report
user's locale setting. The resource file contains resource key=value name
pairs. Read the "Localizing text" chapter in the BIRT online help for more
information.

User Properties are custom ROM properties that you define. You can read more
about it in the ROM spec or the "Report Object Model reference" chapter in
the BIRT online help.

I don't know much about this, but I believe Named Expressions and Event
Handler are for supporting scripting in Java (instead of JavaScript).
