Hi, first you will need apache maven, there are instructions around to install this. I think you can also use Ant compiler but I don’t know about that, I just use maven.
Extract cloud reports.
In windows command prompt go to the directory where you extracted CloudReports and type:
1. mvn clean package
2. once that is done, type mvn clean package jar:jar (this will create the all-important CloudReports.jar inside /target – you will need this if you are creating extensions)
3. once that’s done, type mvn eclipse:eclipse (this will make sure that eclipse can work with CloudReports).
4. Close command
Do you already have a workspace set for eclipse? If not create one.
Now in a eclipse workspace of your choice, copy your CloudReports folder into it and copy the whole folder itself, not the contents inside the folder. If your inside the CloudReports folder and can see all the contents then go up a directory and now you should copy the CloudReports folder itself.
In eclipse, create a new Java Project and give it exactly the same name as your CloudReports folder that you just copied into the workspace. Click finished and you’re done! You should see all the files and folders of CloudReports.
Just go into the GUI package of CloudReports and run main.java and now you’re using CloudReports.
You can find better instructions on https://github.com/thiagotts/CloudReports but it does not exactly detail how to run CloudReports in eclipse.
It also doesn’t tell you that in eclipse, you need to make the extensions folder inside src/main/resources not /target. It took me ages to figure out why my extensions wasn’t working! But I hope you don’t have to go through the trouble I had.
Best of luck,
Umar.

The NetBeans IDE can automatically recognize any existing Apache Maven project. If you have such a project, just use the Open Project dialog (to be invoked via Ctrl-Shift-O keyboard shortcut, icon in the toolbar or the File/Open project menu item). All the recognized Maven projects should be marked by the Maven project type icon. If you select such folder in the file chooser, you get the project's name and a list of subprojects on the right hand side.
