Date function compile problem

[avinash.eng18]

 have a report (javabean collection datasource) which uses a date function - DATEFORMAT($F{meetingDate},"EEEE dd MMMM yyyy").  The report runs fine in eclipse and if I remove the function it runs properly through java.  

With the function I get the following errors though 

 

net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException: Errors were encountered when compiling report expressions class file:

1. The method DATEFORMAT(Date, String) is undefined for the type ******

                value = DATEFORMAT(((java.util.Date)field_OBSDate.getValue()),"EEEE dd MMMM yyyy"); //$JR_EXPR_ID=10$

                        <-------->

2. The method DATEFORMAT(Date, String) is undefined for the type *******

                value = DATEFORMAT(((java.util.Date)field_OBSDate.getOldValue()),"EEEE dd MMMM yyyy"); //$JR_EXPR_ID=10$

                        <-------->

3. The method DATEFORMAT(Date, String) is undefined for the type *******

                value = DATEFORMAT(((java.util.Date)field_OBSDate.getValue()),"EEEE dd MMMM yyyy"); //$JR_EXPR_ID=10$

                        <-------->

3 errors

 

My required date formatt is MM-DD-YYYY  HH:mm:SS

You'll need to include the jasperreports-functions jar in your project, put it on your class path etc. to be able to use dateformat
