I am running Ubuntu 13.10 x86_64.
Right now I am not able to use the Designer at all. I am getting on every preview page the exception 

org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.EngineException: Error happened while running the report.

As far as I can see, there seems to be a relation with #351482. 
Since Ubuntu 12.04 (April 2012) is the rhino 1.7.3+ distributed. If it is related, since 2012 the BIRT isn't working anymore an Ubuntu, Debian and derivates.

I am willing to provide help and effort. Please tell me how to help, to get it fixed in the next releasecycle of Kepler or a patch via BIRT.

Maybe there is a workaround, if so, how to workaround this issue?
