Hi ,

Sadly there is no full support for Java 8 yet.
You would have to wait for some more time probably.

Hope that this helps
Thanks

As is stated many times, iReport is due to end of life next year and no further development is being done. If you want to use JDK8, use Jaspersoft Studio. The recent version does support JDK8.

I found this on Stack Overflow. It helped me, I hope it helps all of you!

There's another way if you don't want to have older Java versions installed you can do the following:

1) Download the iReport-5.6.0.zip from http://community.jaspersoft.com/project/ireport-designer/releases

2) Download jre-7u67-windows-x64.tar.gz (the one packed in a tar) fromhttp://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre7-downloads-1880261.html

3) Extract the iReport and in the extracted folder that contains the bin and etc folders throw in the jre. For example if you unpack twice the jre-7u67-windows-x64.tar.gz you end up with a folder named jre1.7.0_67. Put that folder in the iReport-5.6.0 directory:

and then go into the etc folder and edit the file ireport.conf and add the following line into it:

jdkhome=".jre1.7.0_67"

now if you run the ireport_w.exe from the bin folder in the iReport directory it should load just fine.
