What's the version of BIRT you downloaded?
Does EMF2.2.X, GEF 3.2.X and DTP installed in Eclipse env?

Is there any error message in the ./meta/.log file in your workspace? If has, could you please paste it here?

I have experienced this too.  It will happen if using java 1.4 to run eclipse.  Using 1.5 fixed it.  Changing the system's default version of java wasn't possible for me, so I specified it with the -vm command-line argument.

% eclipse -vm /opt/jdk-1.5.0/bin

Most case that perspective can be loaded are caused by JDK version. EMF 2.3 only support JDK1.5.
