Arthur,

Sorry for my late reply. I have been discussing this with Scott.

If it is not secret, could you send your .owl file and .rptdesign file 
directly to my email address at [email protected] so I can check it.

For the Eclipse crash, could you check if BIRT on your Mac can view a 
report with a sample database and data set? BIRT provides a "Classic 
Cars" database and data set by default.

Thanks,
Gokhan
