I want to add custom buttons in BIRT report designer like Save, Open that have custom functionality.
 
How can I add these extensions?
 
Thanks!

For web output, you can add a Text element to the report. Change the type of the Text element to HTML in the top dropdown. Add a <button> tag and then write JavaScript or jQuery code to execute your custom functionality when the button is clicked.

Thanks, Jeff! But I want to add a button in BIRT designer not the report. I want to call my custom Save function when I click this button.

I automatically added "on a report" when I read your post. Sorry about that. 
 
I'm more familiar with the question I answered than the question you actually asked. In the Run menu there's an Eternal Tools command. I believe that is where you add functionality like you are describing but I haven't had a chance to try it yet.
