integrating jasper reports some of the APIS with netbeans

Note: The directories and files in the procedures that follow are under the base JasperReports directory, named jasperreports-1.2.5 by default, in which the sources and bits reside.
  1. Start NetBeans.
    Important: Ensure that javac is on your PATH environment variable.
  2. Choose Tools > Library Manager to open the Library Manager dialog box.
  3. Click New Library and, in the New Library dialog box, type JasperReports-1.2.5 in the Library Name field. Choose Class Libraries from the Library Type drop-down list. Click OK. See Figure 1.

  4. In the Classpath tab, add the jasperreports-1.2.5.jar file from the JasperReports dist directory and add the following five files from the lib directory:
    • commons-beanutils-1.5.jar
    • commons-collections-2.1.jar
    • commons-digester-1.7.jar
    • commons-logging-1.0.2.jar
    • commons-javaflow-20060411.jar
