Browse All TopicsI am using NetBeans 6.7.1 on OS X Leopard and have just installed iReport and Jasper Reports as NetBeans plugins.
I created my first report and saved it ( with the default .jrprint extension )
After closing and reopening NetBeans later I want to retrieve my report. However there seems to be no menu option to reopen this file. When I use the File Open menu option and navigate to the file the IDE objects saying
" This file appears to contain binary data. Are you sure you want to open it in the text editor ? "
How can I reopen my report in the Report Designer ? Am I missing something obvious ?
Thanks
Ross

I've had another look at the problem after a night's sleep - solved !
I now realise that I should be opening the .jrxml file which contains the report definition, not the .jrprint file which is a representation of the report output ....
