Issue/Introduction

Introduction

One of the prerequisites for using the iReport client is that an SDK 1.5 or above has been installed.? The client will work with a JDK as well.? However, upon installation it may not be configured to use the installed JRE and will display an error as shown upon opening the client:

<Please see attached file for image>

If so, check the ireportpro.conf file located in:? <jaspersoft>\iReport-Professional-4.5.0\etc

Check the contents of the file.? It will probably look like this and will need to be edited:

# ${HOME} will be replaced by user home directory according to platform
default_userdir="${HOME}/.${APPNAME}/4.5.0"
default_mac_userdir="${HOME}/Library/Application Support/${APPNAME}/4.5.0"

# options used by the launcher by default, can be overridden by explicit
# command line switches
default_options="-J-Xms24m -J-Xmx512m -J-Dorg.netbeans.ProxyClassLoader.level=1000 -J-XX:MaxPermSize=256m"
# for development purposes you may wish to append: -J-Dnetbeans.logger.console=true -J-ea

# default location of JDK/JRE, can be overridden by using --jdkhome <dir> switch
#jdkhome="/path/to/jdk"

# clusters' paths separated by path.separator (semicolon on Windows, colon on Unices)
#extra_clusters=

Procedure

1. Uncomment the line:? #jdkhome="/path/to/jdk"
2. Point the jdkhome to location of your installed JDK, for example:? jdkhome="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_37"
3. Restart the iReport client

The ireportpro.conf file should look like this after editing:
?

# ${HOME} will be replaced by user home directory according to platform
default_userdir="${HOME}/.${APPNAME}/4.5.0"
default_mac_userdir="${HOME}/Library/Application Support/${APPNAME}/4.5.0"

# options used by the launcher by default, can be overridden by explicit
# command line switches
default_options="-J-Xms24m -J-Xmx512m -J-Dorg.netbeans.ProxyClassLoader.level=1000 -J-XX:MaxPermSize=256m"
# for development purposes you may wish to append: -J-Dnetbeans.logger.console=true -J-ea

# default location of JDK/JRE, can be overridden by using --jdkhome <dir> switch
jdkhome="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_37"

# clusters' paths separated by path.separator (semicolon on Windows, colon on Unices)
#extra_clusters=
