JasperReports Visual Designer for NetBeans IDE 5.5
Today Toni Epple released a first buildable version of Jarvis, the Jasper Visual Designer for NetBeans. I tried it last week or so, but many libraries were missing. Today, though, everything's there. Completely out of the box. Through CVS, you can get everything you need from https://jarvis.dev.java.net/. Literally, all I did was check out the sources from his CVS and then I installed the module and I was done. No separate download of Jasper, no separate download of anything else. However, note that Toni writes in his blog: "The version supplied here is neither stable, feature complete, nor extensively tested, and I guarantee that API and GUI will change a lot before the first official release. But I guess you can get an idea of how the Designer is meant to work."
Give it a try anyway, here's what you'll see after creating an "Empty JasperReport file" (in the "Other" category). Loads of cool stuff in the palette and a very neat looking design view (notice also the Preview and XML view, as well as the extensions to the toolbar):
Three cheers for Toni! This thing is looking really professional already.

When I installed NBM created from jarvis CVS, I got JasperReport category with these files for creating:
JRAbstractScriplet template file
JRDefaultScriplet template file
JasperReport template file
but still didn't got the design view and jarvis palette.

Well, the design view and the palette are for the JasperReport template. So, you first need to create a JasperReport template. Then you'll see the views.

Maybe because you are in Cuba, it is blocked.

Ups!....the problem of the blockade... What a shame! That´s the real problem: our goverments doesn´t understand themselves and cuban java developers are suffering because of that(yes, in Cuba a lot of people work with java languaje too, including me, of course)...
Then, there is nothing to do...i think?? It´s a real shame...but Java is my prefered languaje, even the unique!!! Now i´m studing 5th year of computer science engineering and i want to spend my whole life developing applications in java, it´s really amazing even for cubans who are blocked...
Thanks anyway Geertjan!!!
