Try removing the netbeans platform name prefix... I believe it was added that way because I was using netbeans 6.9 with netbeans 6.5.1 platform. e.g. nbplatform.NetBeans_IDE_6.5.1_(Build_200903060201).netbeans.dest.dir --> netbeans.dest.dir Regards, Frank Grimes

Hi All, We've been looking for a report designer to provide to our customers and are currently leaning towards picking iReport over the Eclipse BIRT designer. My question is the following... would this project be open to contributions? The reason I ask is because we have yet to receive any replies on this forum. Is there a developer forum or mailing list that we should be using instead? Two things which stand out that we would like to undertake are: 1) add a window/wizard for adding new JDBC drivers (going to the classpath is not as end-user friendly as how BIRT handles this) 2) upgrade to Netbeans Platform 6.9/7.x Regards, Frank Grimes

Hi All, After some experimenting with ireport/nbproject/platform.properties I was able to get it to build something that launches without errors and runs a sample report. My built installer now weighs in at around 70 MB. Attached is the platform.properties that I used. Regards, Frank Grimes

Hi All, I downloaded netbeans-6.5.1-200903060201-ml and modified platform-private.properties to include the following: nbplatform.NetBeans_IDE_6.5.1_(Build_200903060201).harness.dir=C:/netbeans-6.5.1-200903060201-ml/harness nbplatform.NetBeans_IDE_6.5.1_(Build_200903060201).label=NetBeans IDE 6.5.1 (Build 200903060201) nbplatform.NetBeans_IDE_6.5.1_(Build_200903060201).netbeans.dest.dir=C:/netbeans-6.5.1-200903060201-ml I then ran ant create-ireport-distro-win-installer in the ireport-nb-3.7.6 directory to build the installer. There are two problems I have noticed... 1) The iReport-3.7.6-windows-installer.exe file created is 220MB, compared to the 78MB of the binary download provided on the iReport web site. 2) After installing the 220MB version built from the ant script, I get a bunch of warnings about missing modules when launching it So my questions are as follows... Are the instructions on the following pages up to date? http://jasperforge.org/website/ireportwebsite/IR%20Website/ir_development.html?header=project&target=ireport http://jasperforge.org/website/ireportwebsite/IR%20Website/ir_compiling_ireport.html?header=project&target=ireport Also, I'm no Netbeans platform expert, but is the nbproject/platform.properties file correct? I ask because it looks as though unneeded modules are being included (hence the larger install file size) which depend on others which are missing (hence the warnings on startup). Thanks, Frank Grimes

It seems to be there now.

Hello? Anybody there? :-)

Is this an omission or has it just not been tagged yet? Thanks, Frank Grimes

I finally figured out that if the relative path on line 69 of iReportInstaller.nsi exceeds the windows MAX_PATH limit, then the build fails. Replacing the following relative path with a fully qualified path works around the issue. # FAILURE 69 - File /r /x src "..\dist\${PRODUCT_NAME}-${PRODUCT_VERSION}-windows-installer\*.*" # SUCCESS 69 - File /r /x src "C:\Users\frankgrimes\Documents\NetBeansProjects\ireport-nb-3.7.4\dist\${PRODUCT_NAME}-${PRODUCT_VERSION}-windows-installer\*.*" See the following for more details: http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?t=254961 http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?t=261331 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2825798/should-i-deal-with-files-longer-than-max-path

Does nobody have an idea why the build is failing?

When trying to build from the 3.7.4 tag in SVN, I get the following error when running the "create-ireport-distro-win-installer" target: File: Descending to: "..distiReport-3.7.4-windows-installerruby2jruby-1.1.4librubygems1.8gemsactionmailer-2.1.0testfixturespath.with.dots"File: Descending to: "..distiReport-3.7.4-windows-installerruby2jruby-1.1.4librubygems1.8gemsactionmailer-2.1.0testfixturespath.with.dotsfunky_path_mailer"File: failed opening file "..distiReport-3.7.4-windows-installerruby2jruby-1.1.4librubygems1.8gemsactionmailer-2.1.0testfixturespath.with.dotsfunky_path_mailermultipart_with_template_path_with_dots.erb"Error in script "C:UsersfrankgrimesDocumentsNetBeansProjectsireport-nb-3.7.4etciReportInstaller.nsi" on line 69 -- aborting creation processC:UsersfrankgrimesDocumentsNetBeansProjectsireport-nb-3.7.4build.xml:327: Command failed, error code 1: 'makensis /DPRODUCT_VERSION=3.7.4 /DPRODUCT_NAME=iReport /DPRODUCT_WEB_SITE=http://ireport.sourceforge.net C:UsersfrankgrimesDocumentsNetBeansProjectsireport-nb-3.7.4etciReportInstaller.nsi' - WIndows Vista 32-bit SP2 - NSIS 2.46 - NetBeans 6.9 - NetBeans RCP 6.5.1 Is there a specific version of NSIS that I should be using?
