Open XML file into Report Designer

[rajil]

Hello;

I was using old version of jasper till now and was using iReport 3 till now.  I have lots of reports designed and saved as "xml" extension.

I have upgraded jasper reports library version to 6.2.2 now.  I also have downloaded Jaspersoft Studio 6.2.2 but the problem is the earlier saved reports with XML extension isn't opening in report designre.  I can rename the file and open it in report designer.  But due to some reason and dependency i don't want to change extesion of report source files to JRXML from XML.  Is there any way to continue using XML extension for report design instead of JRXML?

Try setting the compatibility mode.

From the menu, select "Windows" -> "Preferences" -> "Jaspersoft Studio" -> "Compatibility". In the "Version" pull down, select the version that your report was created. Push the "Apply" and "OK" button.

BTW, the most recent version of Jaspersoft Studio is now 6.3.0.

Thans for the reply Hozawa.  I am using JasperReports 6.2.2 library.  

I still am unable to open xml to designer view.  it loads only xml source file instead of opening in designer.  I tried all compatibility settings but not successful.  If i change extension to JRXML from XML then it's opening.  But i can't do that because, mentioned earlier,  it's not feasible to change file extension in a project.

Isn't there any parameter to load XML in designer instead of JRXML?
