Integrate Jasper with Eclipse?

2003-10-16 08:46

Hi,

as I am a beginner in this, can anyone tell me how can I install Jasper into Eclipse?

I am using Eclipse 2.1 and I downloaded Jasper 0.5.0.

 

Thanks,

Althea

I suppose it depends on what you mean by "install into".

 

I use Eclipse and Jasper, but Jasper isn't a plugin. Just make sure that the Jasper libs are in the Eclipse classpath of your project and you should be fine.

U can try the solution which was posted by

Dave Limer!

 

Try with jdk1.4+ or you can edit your xml files created by i-Report & change 'CP1252' to 'Cp1252'.

I hope this helps.

Thanks Charles!

 

PROBLEM:

Now my problem seems to be that I want Greek in my HTML and PDF reports, but all I get is "????? ??" or nothing at all.

 

I used the webapp demo that comes with Jasper, and I get the message:

"dori.jasper.engine.JRException: Could not load font from location : helvetica"

 

I made the following modifications:

1. I changed some of the data at the WebappDataSource.java and recompiled ok.

 

2. I tried using:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

or

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-7"?>

 

3. together with:

pdfEncoding="Identity-H"

 

RESULT:

but nope! It Gives me "?????? ???" in HTMLs and nothing on PDFs.

 

Is there something I'm doing wrong? How can I pu Greek characters in my reports (html/pdfs)?

Hi,

 

I think it should be pdfFontName="Helvetica" and not "helvetica".

 

There is also the provided "unicode" sample that shows you how to generate reports

in Greek.

 

I hope this helps.
