Hi Again A little disapointed not to be offerred any advice but I have made quite a lot of progress. I can now execute Reports and Charts from inside Eclipse although I am having to build the reports in the standalone JasperReports tool The solution was to include a lot of additional class librarys in that do not seem to be mentioned anywhere in the installation notes (commons-*, joda-time-2.1, spring-beans, spring-core etc) My only problem now is that the built in functions such as DATEFORMAT will not compile when i run from Eclipse. I have included jasperreports-functions-6.3.1.jar. Do I need to import anything in class that compiles the report ? This is an example of the error C:Usersnrpowcs_workspacecs_projectnicksreport_1488163868244_961370.java:194: error: cannot find symbol value = DATEFORMAT( ((java.sql.Date)field_end_date.getValue()),"dd/mm/yyyy"); //$JR_EXPR_ID=9$ ^ symbol: method DATEFORMAT(Date,String) location: class nicksreport_1488163868244_961370Am I missing something obvious, I cant believe it is meant to be this difficult ! Please help ! Nick .

Hi all I need some help, please ;) I am creating a simple Java application using Eclipse Neon.2(4.6.2) IDE and Swing Librariesa All the windows and sql queries work as expected when running from Eclipse ! I have created a basic Jasper Report using separate Jaspersoft Studio 6.3.1 (I cant get the plugin to load in eclipse but I can live with out that for now) The report previews fine and connects to the mysql database inside Jaspersoft Studio I have installed ANT and tested it everything seems ok as well, (not sure if that is needed but did it anyway) I have copied the report file produced 'PropertySummaryReport.jrxml' into the main Java project folder. I have added the 6 jasperreports-<xxxxx>-6.3.1 jar files to my project and added them to my Referenced libraries in Java Build Path I have added the following lines of Java to a menu button listener Connection connection = null; connection = mysqlConnection.dbConnector(); JasperDesign jasperDesign = JRXmlLoader.load("PropertySummaryReport.jrxml"); JasperReport jasperReport = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(jasperDesign); JasperPrint print = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport, null, connection); JRViewer viewer = new JRViewer(print); When i run the app the line 'JasperDesign jasperDesign = JRXmlLoader.load("PropertySummaryReport.jrxml");' is failing with the error Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/digester/Digester at cs_project.MainWindow$12.actionPerformed(MainWindow.java:260) at javax.swing.AbstractButton.fireActionPerformed(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.AbstractButton$Handler.actionPerformed(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.DefaultButtonModel.fireActionPerformed(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.DefaultButtonModel.setPressed(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.AbstractButton.doClick(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicMenuItemUI.doClick(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicMenuItemUI$Handler.mouseReleased(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Component.processMouseEvent(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.JComponent.processMouseEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Component.processEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Container.processEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Component.dispatchEventImpl(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Container.dispatchEventImpl(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Component.dispatchEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.LightweightDispatcher.retargetMouseEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.LightweightDispatcher.processMouseEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.LightweightDispatcher.dispatchEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Container.dispatchEventImpl(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Window.dispatchEventImpl(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Component.dispatchEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEventImpl(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue.access$500(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue$3.run(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue$3.run(Unknown Source) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.security.ProtectionDomain$JavaSecurityAccessImpl.doIntersectionPrivilege(Unknown Source) at java.security.ProtectionDomain$JavaSecurityAccessImpl.doIntersectionPrivilege(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue$4.run(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue$4.run(Unknown Source) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.security.ProtectionDomain$JavaSecurityAccessImpl.doIntersectionPrivilege(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEventForFilters(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForFilter(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarchy(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(Unknown Source) Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.commons.digester.Digester at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) ... 39 more I thought this might be caused my the missing JAR file 'commons-digester3-3.2.jar' so i downloaded and added to my referenced libraries in classpath What am i doing wrong, Im spending too much time on this problem and running out of time for my project

Fixed my problem , i think installing ant and optional section as administrator solves a lot of the setup problems
