After months of hard work, the first version of iReport for NetBeans (iReport NB) is finally out!
It is not a final release, several things are still missing, but it is a pretty good one. We choose d the version number 0.9.0 to underline the fact that it is still a working in progress application. The final release should be completed by the end of this summer (2008), hopefully much sooner.
What are the benefits of iReport for NetBeans respect to the “classic flavor” one? Well, there are several benefits, the designer has been completely rewritten using the Sun’s Visual Library (thanks to David Kaspar to get the time to teach me the ropes of this little jewelery), the internal report model is no longer a custom object model, but it is the native model used by JasperReports itself (the JasperDesign). Teodor Danciu and Lucian Chirita (JasperReports) improved a lot the report object model adding support for events. The original model was not suitable for a visual designer, and this is why iReport (and all the other JR designers) implement a custom object model. iReport NB is the first designer for JasperReports using the native object model of JasperReports internally. Isn’t great?
Talking of benefits what about having iReport as plugin for NetBeans IDE? If you use NetBeans as IDE, you can have the power of iReport integrated in your favorite IDE.
The next version of iReport NB is scheduled for the end of march. This will be a new major update including support for crosstabs and conditional styles. Stay tuned!

Hi,
I have been installed iReports plugin (3.5) for NetBeans (version 6.5) and everything works right.
But I´m looking hard on the internet and Google a java class to call the file .jasper that was generated using the plugin, but I haven´t success.
Coud you publish a java class model for that?
And sorry for my bad english
Best regards,
