I looked at the BIRT
FAQ(http://www.eclipse.org/birt/wiki/index.php?n=FAQ.Scripting) and
it states the following:
Q: Is it possible to use cell.setProperty( ) to set the width of
cells?
Answered by Stanley Wang
You can not set column width dynamically for now. Runtime scripting is
limited to property access and data-manipulations for this release.
More will come in BIRT 2.0.
So I'm wondering if it's possible to change the width of a cell using
runtime scripting in BIRT 2.0? The effect I want to achieve is to
provide a percentage scale within a table. By changing the width of a
cell dynamically. I think this would be pretty cool.
I also want to have the ability to change the source url for an image
using scripting.

Thanks Petter,
I was able to achieve what I want.
I also added a bugzilla entry to add support for setting widths on
report items.
