I am having big troubles attempting to upgrade BIRT runtime from 4.2.1a to 4.4.0 (to match the version of BIRT running in my Eclipse - Version: 4.4.0.v201405191524-8F9F79FT0z0-TPAnKRWD4Z, Build id: v20140606-1451).

In our POM, we have the following. All I did was change 4.2.1a to 4.4.0. Note that we are deploying against OC4J.

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.eclipse.birt.runtime</groupId>
   <artifactId>org.eclipse.birt.runtime</artifactId>
   <version>4.4.0</version>
   <exclusions>
      <!-- Use OC4J shared library xerces implementation -->
      <exclusion>
         <groupId>org.eclipse.birt.runtime.3_7_1</groupId>
         <artifactId>org.apache.xerces</artifactId>
      </exclusion>
      <!-- Exclude existing common apache libraries -->
      <exclusion>
         <groupId>org.eclipse.birt.runtime</groupId>
         <artifactId>org.apache.commons.logging</artifactId>
      </exclusion>
      <exclusion>
         <groupId>org.eclipse.birt.runtime.3_7_1</groupId>
         <artifactId>org.apache.commons.codec</artifactId>
      </exclusion>
      <!-- Exclude the default org.apache.batik.pdf module. Use a custom one instead -->
      <exclusion>
         <groupId>org.eclipse.birt.runtime.3_7_1</groupId>
         <artifactId>org.apache.batik.pdf</artifactId>
      </exclusion>
   </exclusions>
</dependency>

When I try to use the report in out app, I get this from our log

14/11/25 17:16:00.227 foo_app-BIRT: Servlet error

this error is repeated for what seems like all of the BIRT jars.

I recommend bypassing 4.4.0 and going to 4.4.1. I had problems with 4.4.0
that went away with 4.4.1.

Well, when I moved to 4.4.1, I didn't get the ClassCastExceptions but still got the NPE.

SEVERE: Failed to run BIRT report. Throwing ServletException.

	at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:662)


The relevant code is:

public IReportRunnable retrieveReportDesign(final InputStream reportStream,
      final String reportFile) throws EngineException {
   if (reportDesigns.containsKey(reportFile)) {
      return reportDesigns.get(reportFile);
   } else {
      IReportRunnable design = reportEngine.openReportDesign(reportStream);   // ReportUtil.java:171
      reportDesigns.put(reportFile, design);
      return design;
   }
}


Right now, I have no choice but to downgrade back to 4.2.1a (which is not good, because I have downgrade Eclipse too) until I can devote more time to investigating this issue.

Did you check for eclipse updates?
Installation details -> Plug-ins shows BIRT core package and a few others
at 4.4.1.v201409160530 here.
