Thomas, I don't know what JasperSoft's plans are for iReport, but based on recent releases, it seems that their effort has shifted to 3.1.x. I would guess you could keep using the classic for a while at least but should eventually shift to 3.1.x (maybe new features will be added to 3.1.x but not classic 3.0.x). Ideally you would just need to get used to the new interface and otherwise the same source files should work in the new version (may be worth a shot just to check and see). I'm just speaking as an outside developer though, not as anyone who knows anything about JasperSofts plans. I haven't found anything like a release plan or feature list on the site. Lloyd

Thanks Matt, that got me started. The nb version looks so sparten next to the eclipse version that I was just worried about how complete the nb version is. I did find the parameters and fields that I needed. You're right, it would have been pretty crippled without those features. :) Thanks also for the other comments, I've used the eclipse based iReport in the past and am starting a new project and would like to use the nb (since it appears to be the future) so I wouldn't have to migrate/re-learn at some point in the future.

Does iReport 3.1.1 contain all the features found in iReport 3.0.0? If not, is there a feature matrix of some kind to compare the functionality of the two? For example I am looking for a way to view and edit the fields, variables and parameters in iReport 3.1.1. In iReport 3.0.0 there is a button that gives me access to those values. Thanks, Lloyd
