Note: I've copied this reply to the eclipse.birt newsgroup.

Are you certain that "the latest version of BIRT" does not require 
Eclipse 3.5? It should not even install or run in 3.4 if it does require 
3.5, but it's possible that is the source of your problem.
What version of BIRT did you install? How did you install it, via the 
Software Updates GUI or by some other (manual) means?


Hope this helps,
Eric
