Which part am I missing to compile iReport 4.0.2 from source:
Installed NB 7.0 IDE (full)
Downloaded and extracted platform 6.0.1 (from old guide I guess)
Added this as a platform in NB
Downloaded and extracted platform 6.5.1
Added this as a platform in NB
Assigned harness as 6.5.1 in platform 6.5.1
Downloaded iReport src
Opened project - Assigned to platform 6.5.1
I am attempted to compile and getting:
C:\\source\\iReport-4.0.2-src\\ireport-designer\\src\\com\\jaspersoft\\ireport\\JrxmlDataLoader.java:33: cannot access org.openide.util.Lookup
class file for org.openide.util.Lookup not found
I assume this would be from the platform, but not quite sure where to look to get the right thing.
A little help is appreciated. Thanks!

1 Answer:
None of the devs will help with this issue (I think there is an unofficial non-disclosure policy), so all I can suggest is what I did for developing an iReport plugin.
Actually use Netbeans 6.5.1 to develop with. The project will not compile using any other version of Netbeans- at least not out of the box. I struggled for days to try and get it to compile using NB 6.9/7.0 and eventually gave up.
I hope that one day the devs will maybe produce an up to date howto for NB7, or at least check in properly configured build files for later NB versions.
