The above is a REST client for JasperRepors Server, its documentation is at:
https://github.com/Jaspersoft/jrs-rest-java-client
The problem is that I can't find an explanation for how to start, in my case, I've been working with JAVA, JSP, DB2 and JDBC as the main technologies to run reports, but now I'm looking to use JasperReports Server to view the reports, but I can't find a detailed explanation to start, for example, create a project, add dependencies, create a java application, add this, add the other, etc., the main features that should be counted on, are that obviously you can view the reports and The other thing is that users can be modified (mainly their password), I appreciate an explanation about this in advance.

How do we add our own plugin. Lets say a new add-on or feature which can be installed and used. How do we develop that? I am sorry i am new to this.
Kindly help
Depending on your needs, I suggest you check out:
https://documentation.bloomreach.com/14/library/concepts/open-ui/introduction.html
You can also create various plugins more like the native functionality. Adding such to essentials is described here:
https://documentation.bloomreach.com/14/library/essentials-plugins/overview.html
That doesn't tell you how to create a plugin however. Essentials is just a helper application, the plugin can be various things from services, to configuration, to document types, to hst components... All of that requires some knowledge of the internals of the system. Look around the documentation, you can see how to create various things like workflows, perspectives, and more.
A plugin is no more than a collection of code and configuration bundled together. It could be a frontend thing or a backend thing. So I can't simply tell you how to create them. It can be quite difficult, depending on what you want, to create a plugin. Look into the code of some plugins, you will see that it is basically a java project with some configuration that can be found by the system on startup.
You might want to ask more specifically on what exactly you want to develop. That could lead to more specific advice. It can be daunting when you are starting to work with the cms. With experience it does start to make sense.
I am new by to eclipse RCP. I have an requirement in which, I need to copy some information from any "xyz" editor and paste it to "xyz" editor of another instance of same rcp product.
My application already have this copy paste functionality for single instance of the product, for which I am using customised standard ACTION as per my requirement.
I was trying to have something like "Application or Session" scope for web applications, where we can store that information and used it for different instances.
Please let me know, if something else required to understand the requirement.
Thanks in Advance !!!
As greg-449 mentioned they're running in separate JVMs.
This question is related:
inter jvm communication
It requires Java 7, which might not be available for you if you're using 3.x Platform.
You could also try opening a socket between the JVMs. However I did not find any out-of-the-box solutions.
You might find examples of a locally shared database, like the Java Derby technology. But it's way too much stack of technology for a copy/paste action, so don't use it.
I am trying to add a WebService Service Task to a process in JBPM. I would like to add and configure the task directly from the process design tool.
JBPM has 3 possible tools that you can use to create a process, eclipse plugins: RulesFlow editor and BPMN2 Modeler, as well as a Onyx Designer incorporated into Drools. So far I have not managed to do this in any of them.
I was able to add the WS to the process by manually editing the process XML file (as shown here: http://mswiderski.blogspot.com/2012/07/service-task-with-web-service.html) but we need to be able to do it in a graphical tool (business reasons, don't ask). BPMN2 Modeler comes closest to the generated XML that would in theory work, but when I try to run it, it comes out with a bunch of errors.
I know that the link I provided states that the tools don't yet provide the WS functionality but maybe someone has some ideas as to this problem. Any help will be appreciated.
I don't believe you can directly create a service task from the design tools. I've followed this here :
And after you've created your work item definition, you should be able to see that you can add that service task in your process design. Just remember that you have to register that to your session before you start the process. Hope this helps
is there a way to create a task/activity report (say a weekly report) off tasks managed with Mylyn? I've been using Rachota TimeTracker which allows me to create reports (in html format)
http://rachota.sourceforge.net/en/demo.html
I've just started using mylyn (our company uses Embarcadero JBuilder which is is based on Eclipse), but I don't see anywhere in the Eclipse or Embarcadero docs about reporting capabilities.
Is it possible? Is it possible to query activities worked on a prior week and report statistics out of it (management like reports, you know;) I'm sure it is, but I haven't been able to google it out.
Thanks.
You're in luck, Tasktop Pro (the supported version of Mylyn) has reporting. It allows you to:
View all task activity times for the previous day, week, and month
Manually adjust times as necessary to account for meetings and discussions
Submit your adjusted times, on tasks you select, to your task repository
Create reports in various formats
I'd recommend this short video which explains the reporting features in about 6 minutes.

Tasktop Technologies
As you already know by now, the reporting functionality is included into commercial Tasktop product, which is developed by the same people who created Mylyn. So, obviously they are not interested to include some features into a free version. Now you have two options, either buy Tasktop, or develop your own extension for Mylyn. The task data is stored in reasonable simple xml file, so you not necessarily have to create an Eclipse plugin.
the reporting feature was stripped from the project when it used to be called mylar, in 2007, and since the project went commercial never came back to the open source mylyn for obvious reasons..
I found this simple perl script which outputs a pretty basic text only report, good enough for me.
http://rachaelandtom.info/mylyn-report
No takers? Not surprised since I can't find anything on the subject. For what's worth, there is an experimental task/activity report available for Mylyn with the sandbox jar. However, I could not get mine to work as I'm tied up with a JBuilder installation behind a firewall (and I can't download anything on the corp network that is not pre-evaluated... it sucks, I know.)
I'm going to have to experiment with the mylyn sandox at home, but it would be great if someone knows of an easier, more stable alternative.
I'm evaluating the possibility of developing an Eclipse plugin to modify the source code of some Java files.
The Eclipse plugin should:
add one menu option or context menu option to launch the modification process.
add a key binding
only alter the UI in that way when an editor has been open on a Java file.
the modification process would not open a dialog, or maybe, a very simple one.
the modification process would traverse the AST of the Java file and would modify it.
Considering that we have no experience with Eclipse plugins and we need spend time in reading docs, how much time do you estimate in developing that plugin?
Thanks in advance.
It's really not that difficult at all... I had students in my design patterns class doing it for an assignment (adding/removing javabean getters and setters)
See http://help.eclipse.org/ganymede/topic/org.eclipse.jdt.doc.isv/guide/jdt_api_manip.htm
[EDIT: added the following article reference]
And a great article on it at http://www.eclipse.org/articles/article.php?file=Article-JavaCodeManipulation_AST/index.html (from 2006 -- there may be a few API changes since)
Yes, writing plugins takes a little getting used to, but so does any API.
And you can modify the AST -- see the page I reference above.
(I should note that the above link is from the eclipse help, which can also be accessed via Help->Help Contents inside Eclipse -- there's a lot of good info in there, but it's just a starting point)
You'll probably spend quite some time cursing the complexity of the eclipse plugin system. There are some example plugin development projects that can be very helpful if they cover the area you're working in.
I'd say you're looking at 2-4 days of work, spent mainly getting familiar with the platform - someone with a lot of experience writing eclipse plugins would probably take no more than an hour.
However, your step 5 could be tricky. I don't know how easy it is to access and change the Java AST; my experience is based on developing an editor plugin for an exotic file format rather than Java code.
Well, the four first points are easy to achieve, even by monkey coders that look at the eclipse PDE documentation shipped with Eclipse. These can be achieve in 1 day of work, maybe 2.
The hardest point is really the fifth one and the kind of modification you expect to do. Acting directly on the editor content is simple, accessing the editor internal AST and modifying it is really a bigger challenge and I doubt that it could be achieve in less than a week by unexperimented people (it can take longer, depending of what kind of modification you want to apply).
