Install Eclipse without BIRT.  Read and write to an XML file consisting of the following...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<ncc:library xmlns:ncc="http://www.redseal.net/SCHEMAS/ncc/V1"
             name="ModelIssue" prefix="MI" version="2010031501">
</ncc:library>

Eclipse works fine.

Install BIRT-enabled Eclipse, attempt to open the same XML file. BIRT throws a null pointer exception...
 org.eclipse.birt.report.model.parser.ModuleParserHandler.endDocument(ModuleParserHandler.javae: 287)

If I remove the "ncc:" namespace designation from the <library> element so that the XML looks like this...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<library xmlns:ncc="http://www.redseal.net/SCHEMAS/ncc/V1"
             name="ModelIssue" prefix="MI" version="2010031501">
</library>

...BIRT/Eclipse displays a warning that "the report file of version 2010031501 does not exist" then opens the file anyway.

This occurs regardless of which perspective I'm using (Report Design, or Java), and it continues to happen after I uninstall the BIRT package.  It also happens in Helios and Indigo versions of Eclipse.

Bottom line---I am unable  to use Eclipse to edit my XML after installing BIRT.  I need to keep two versions of Eclipse---one for BIRT report work and one that has never been tainted by BIRT for editing XML.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install BIRT.
2.Open the XML file.
3.
