Description Hubert Pineault CLA 2016-01-15 12:14:31 EST 
There is some issues such as this (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=388170) that could be resolved by adding the "-Djava.awt.headless=true" parameter in eclipse.ini. 

This, although, will spawn an "java.awt.HeadlessException" error with BIRT report designer as it relies on AWT instead of the usual SWT on which eclipse is built. Is there a reason why BIRT uses AWT? Could this be changed? 

I'm using LiClipse instead of Eclipse because of my old computer. With LiClipse, this argument is here by default. 

Thanks,
Hubert
