Hello

 

Please let me know how to start with the application. I am not understanding with the documentation provided online.

 

Thanx

Murli

Hi,

 

The best documentation are the provided samples.

If you have ANT built tool installed, you can test

them in a second, by launching command lines like:

 

>ant compile

 

>ant fill

 

or

 

>ant view

 

It is recommended that you read the freely available

documentation at least once (the /docs directory in

the project tree).

 

Note, that JasperReports is a library and not

a Java application in itself.

You have to create your own application that uses

JasperReports. The provided sample applications

are a good start point.

 

I hope this helps.

Hi,

 

Just follow the installation procedure for the ANT

built tool.

Once you have done that, you open a command

prompt, go to one of the samples directory and

launch commands like:

 

>ant compile

 

>ant fill

 

or

 

>ant view

 

All possible commands are explained in the

build.xml file found in each sample.

There are also some "how.to.txt" files in the project

that give you further details.

 

I hope this helps.
