Configuring the classpath and dependent libraries
| Note | ||

Due to a bug in SVN, which causes binary checkins to corrupt the repository, the Reporting Projects do not always contain the latest versions of the internal libraries. The JARs checked in always represent the last release, not the latest development version. If you develop for the trunk-version of the reporting engine, make sure that you check out all dependent projects from the Subversion Repository and use these sources for your development. All modern IDEs are capable to define dependencies between subprojects of the same workspace, and therefore, if you set up your IDE correctly, pre-built JARs are not needed. |
- On the Libraries tab, click the Add JARs... button
- Navigate to the jfreereport pentaho-reporting-classic-core ? lib directory
- Highlight all the jar files in that directory
- Click on the OK button
- Click on the OK button of the Properties dialog
At this point, the JFreeReport pentaho-reporting-classic-core project should compile and be ready for development.
You can repeat the same steps to work on the pentaho-reporting-classic-extensions project or any of the associated libraries (located under trunk/libraries):
