[news.eclipse.birt] StackOverflowError

[Piotr Kliczewski <klusek6@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I downloaded RCP Birt designer

Version: 2.3.0.v200804251-7N7Y-AYdeIEKS6mGZPHGhs-0vEl6
Build id: v20080618-0630

Wanted to test csv emitter which is described in "Integrating and 
Extending BIRT" book. Downloaded ExecuteCSVReport.zip archive from
http://www.actuate.com/birt/contributions.

During running csvReport.rptdesign I got:

 org.eclipse.birt.report.service.api.ReportServiceException: Error 
happened while running the report.; nested exception is: 
java.lang.StackOverflowError

I checked Binging class and in the sources the method looks like:

	/*
	 * (non-Javadoc)
	 * @see org.eclipse.birt.data.engine.api.IBinding#exportable()
	 */
	public boolean exportable( ) throws DataException
	{
		return this.exportable;
	}

So I did not know what the problem was until I decompiled the class and got:

public boolean exportable()
        throws DataException
    {
        return exportable();
    }

and using javap

public boolean exportable()   throws 
org.eclipse.birt.data.engine.core.DataException;
  Code:
   0:   aload_0
   1:   invokevirtual   #161; //Method exportable:()Z
   4:   ireturn

When I exported org.eclipse.birt.data bundle from eclipse IDE the 
bitecode looks good.

Could you check why designer available on eclipse.org has bytecode like 
I described above ?
