ireport-nb-3.7.6 build issue

[frankgrimes97]

Hi All,

I downloaded netbeans-6.5.1-200903060201-ml and modified platform-private.properties to include the following:

nbplatform.NetBeans_IDE_6.5.1_(Build_200903060201).harness.dir=C:/netbeans-6.5.1-200903060201-ml/harness
nbplatform.NetBeans_IDE_6.5.1_(Build_200903060201).label=NetBeans IDE 6.5.1 (Build 200903060201)
nbplatform.NetBeans_IDE_6.5.1_(Build_200903060201).netbeans.dest.dir=C:/netbeans-6.5.1-200903060201-ml

I then ran ant create-ireport-distro-win-installer in the ireport-nb-3.7.6 directory to build the installer.

There are two problems I have noticed...

1) The iReport-3.7.6-windows-installer.exe file created is 220MB, compared to the 78MB of the binary download provided on the iReport web site.

2) After installing the 220MB version built from the ant script, I get a bunch of warnings about missing modules when launching it

 

So my questions are as follows...

Are the instructions on the following pages up to date?

http://jasperforge.org/website/ireportwebsite/IR%20Website/ir_development.html?header=project&target=ireport
http://jasperforge.org/website/ireportwebsite/IR%20Website/ir_compiling_ireport.html?header=project&target=ireport

Also, I'm no Netbeans platform expert, but is the nbproject/platform.properties file correct?
I ask because it looks as though unneeded modules are being included (hence the larger install file size) which depend on others which are missing (hence the warnings on startup).

Thanks,

Frank Grimes

Hi All,

After some experimenting with ireport/nbproject/platform.properties I was able to get it to build something that launches without errors and runs a sample report.

My built installer now weighs in at around 70 MB.

Attached is the platform.properties that I used.

Thank for the file. The default property file packages everything including some files not supported in the community version.

Dear Frank Grimes,dear all,

I downloaded netbeans-6.5.1-200903060201-ml,iReport-3.7.6-src and modified platform-private.properties to include the following:

 

nbplatform.NetBeans_IDE_6.5.1_(Build_200903060201).harness.dir=F:\\Program Files\\NetBeans 6.5.1\\harness

nbplatform.NetBeans_IDE_6.5.1_(Build_200903060201).label=NetBeans IDE 6.5.1 (Build 200903060201)

nbplatform.NetBeans_IDE_6.5.1_(Build_200903060201).netbeans.dest.dir=F:\\Program Files\\NetBeans 6.5.1

and then i run the main project,an error appears like this:

F:\Program Files\NetBeans 6.5.1\harness\suite.xml:106: The following error occurred while executing this line:

F:\Program Files\NetBeans 6.5.1\harness\build.xml:98: java.io.IOException: No definition of netbeans.dest.dir in D:\HGX-JAVAWORKS\iReport-3.7.6-src\jasperreports-components

Could you tell me how to handle with it?

Thanks,

Hegx

Try removing the netbeans platform name prefix... I believe it was added that way because I was using netbeans 6.9 with netbeans 6.5.1 platform.

e.g. nbplatform.NetBeans_IDE_6.5.1_(Build_200903060201).netbeans.dest.dir --> netbeans.dest.dir
