Getting Started: cannot compile sample reports

[atroutt]

I downloaded JasperReports 3.5.2 and am following the getting started instructions. I went into the barbeque sample and successfully compiled the java source, but when I try to compile the xml report and produce the .jasper file I get an arrayoutofbounds exception.

I am running  ubuntu 8.10 64-bit

jdk: java-6-sun-1.6.0.10

ant: Apache Ant version 1.7.1

Here is the output when I run ant compile after executing ant javac in the jasperreports-3.5.2/demo/samples/barbecue directory:

Buildfile: build.xml

BUILD FAILED
/opt/jasperreports/jasperreports-3.5.2/demo/samples/barbecue/build.xml:32: Errors were encountered when compiling report designs.
 

---------------

I also tried other samples in the samples directory and got the same error each time. I searched for this error and was not able to find anything. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

 

Something must be wrong with the JDT compiler which does not seem to function properly in your environment.

I have tested everything on Ubuntu and it worked here. I have not tried the exact versions you have, but still, there's no sign of something wrong in our distribution.

I don't know what is wrong, but I can give you a quick fix to get passed this.

Remove the jdt-compile-3.1.1.jar file from the project's /lib folder and make sure javac.exe is in the path.

This way the JR report compilation process will use the JDK compiler and you get passed the mentioned error (hpefully).

 

I hope this helps.

Teodor
