language: arabic

steps to recreate the problem:
1)  start eclipse and change the perspective to report designer from window->open perspective->other?
2)  open navigator view by selecting window -> show view -> navigator if it is not already open.
3)  in navigator view, double click test_report_1.rptdesign
4)  right-click [customname] on the report and select properties.
5)  select the format number tab
6)  verify the highlighted text

description:
when selecting the format number tab, the page of this tab displays the contents of the last selected tab, and it doesn't display the expected fields.
kindly see attached screen shot.

thanks

problem occurred with birt-report-framework-sdk-2_6_0-n20100521.zip.

see the attached console log for the exceptions. looks like it's related to "formatcurrencynumpattern.built_in_symbols". the problem occurred in locale "ar" (for arabic).

we were testing with the attached report.
what jdk version are you using?
and what's the plugin version for "com.ibm.icu" used?
we tried both:

java(tm) 2 runtime environment, standard edition (build pwi32devifx-20100127 (sr
11 fp1 ))
ibm j9 vm (build 2.3, j2re 1.5.0 ibm j9 2.3 windows 7 x86-32 j9vmwi3223ifx-20100

icu 4.2.1.v20100412 from eclipse-sdk-n20100524-2000
ok, i got the problem. i guess you are all testing with locale settings without the country part, such as "ar" instead of "ar_sa", "zh" instead of "zh_cn", so the currency property cannot be determined as it's country specific. now added the logic to handle this case.

hi,

after trying "ar_sa" the problem is fixed.

thanks
