The BIRT viewers JDBC connection fails if the db pwd uses "special characters" such as a '+' sign.

Is this something that we are capable of changing, or is it a problem that comes from either BIRT or the JDBC connector?

I think this is something we're able to fix - we've to quote the characters correctly when passing them to the BIRT report viewer.

I´ve added an encoding for such special characters in pwd:
$?+&,/:;=@<>#%{}>|~[]` (unsafe to use in URLs or reserved)

I'm missing the patch and the commit and the test for this.

Our BIRT implementation is in our internal repository. So this is not an Eclipse issue. 

Anyways this issue is fixed and was tested. Most of special characters should work now. To mention it is database depended which special characters are accepted.
