Parameters and Variables

[gmascherino]

 Where do I find a view similar to the 'Report Inspector' where I can view/update my variables, parameters, etc. From what I have read online they should be in the outline view but my outline is empty. How do I manage my variables and parameters? Everything else seems to be working as expected.

Hi,

use Outline View please

 

in menu Window -> Show View -> Outline or Shift + Alt + Q O

 

 

[gmascherino]

   That is the problem. My outline view is empty.

[chicuslavic]

it should not be, can you send me a screenshot and an error log? it's empty even if you restart eclipse?

[gmascherino]

Here is the screen grab and log file from Eclipse. It is empty even if I restart Eclipse. You can see that the other windows, like the palette and properties windows work just fine.

After doing some more testing it looks like the outline window will populate if I start Eclipse and my Jasper reports are already open. I have elcipse setup to remember my open windows when it starts. But if I try open a report after Eclipse is lauched the outline window will not update. Also, if I close a report and reopen it, the outline window will not show anything.

Does that make sense?

I am also facing same problem but of bit greater magitude. Even with report is open and eclipse restart the outline is blank. Have you found any solution to this ?

I am using "eclipse juno"  and plugin ver 1.1.2 latest update

 

Screen shot is attached herewith.

 

Thanks and warm regards

Hi,
currently we are not supporting Eclipse Juno 4.2.
Plans are to extend support next months. Last version supported is 3.8, product version of JSS is also based on this "fix release" for 3.7.x.

Regards,
Massimo.

Thanks,

 

BTW though its beyond your perview, I was using earlier Indigo and during software update eclipse also upgraded to Juno unknowingly. Can you help me in this situation by giving tips on how to revert back to earlier version ?

 

Thanks and warm regards

Hi,
you can revert to a previous configuration. Just go to About Eclipse. Click on "Installation Details" button, then select "Installation History" tab. After that select a valid configuration to revert to: check the content that suite your needs, probably the first one back in timeline that has not the 4.2 stuff.

However could you please describe what happened? Did the update to Juno occurred while installing JSS 1.1.2? 
We tested the install from a Indigo java installation package, and nothing similar happened. Could please specify if you are using a special version of Indigo? Could also take a screenshot or list the update sites that are actually enabled?

Thanks.
Regards,
Massimo.

well, I will try to do what you suggested. Somehow I felt "juno" to be bit inconvenient to use and JSS being not supported is major reason to go back to earlier version.

No upgrade to Juno didn't happened while upgarding to JSS 1.1.2. However I wanted to update JSS so clicked "check for updates" it showed available updates and I blindly clicked OK whithout checking what eclipse updates are indicated. I just saw that JSS new version 1.1.2 is there and clicked OK. when Installation completed and eclipse restarted Then by seeing splash screen I realized that it has been upgraded to juno. No way I doubt that by just updating JSS plugin to 1.1.2 eclipse has upgraded to juno, its my fault that I have not checked other updates indicated.

I am not using any special vesion of Indigo its download from Eclipse site EE version and few additional plugins downloaded from respective sites such as code coverage, findbugs, spring IDE etc. etc. nothing special one.

Thanks and warm regards
