If you wish to use the Eclipse IDE Software Updater:
1. Start Eclipse 3.4.1 (Gemini) IDE.
2. Select Help -> Software Updates...
3. Select the "Available Software" tab.
4. Click the "Manage Sites..." button.
5. If you do not see the following URL listed:
http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/crystalreportsforeclipse/2_0/update_site/
 then click "Add..." and add it.
6. Select the above URL in the "Available Software Sites", then click "OK".
7. The Available Software should now list the above URL. Open the node, and you should see "Crystal Reports for Eclipse".
8. Check all checkboxes for "Crystal Reports for Eclipse", and "Install..."

You should get back a XML file listed the current CR4E plugin and language packs versions. If you get an error instead, it may be because (1) you're in a locked down environment that won't let you access that site, or (2) the CR4E Update Site may be down for maintenance. If the former, you'll have to download the updates by some other means and upgrade manually.

Crystal Reports for Eclipse vs. Crystal Reports Developer

We are developing a Java web application for internal use. Since we have some people at the company who are familiar with Crystal Reports, we'd like to have them write reports that we can display through our application. Crystal Reports Server seems like overkill for this project, but the <a href="http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2/en/devsuite.htm#en/JRC_SDK/">JRC</a> sounded like a good fit.
I have been evaluating <a href="http://www.businessobjects.com/products/reporting/crystalreports/developer/default.asp">Crystal Reports Developer</a> and trying out the <a href="http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/FilesAndUpdates/crxi_r2_jrc_web_samples.zip.asp">JRC samples</a>. The samples don't use the tag library. Instead, they show how to set session variables and redirect to a viewer JSP which contains a bunch of Java code to use the CrystalReportViewer.
The samples are so much more complex than the code created by Crystal Reports for Eclipse, which simply uses the tag library:
<%@ taglib uri="/crystal-tags-reportviewer.tld" prefix="crviewer" %>
<crviewer:viewer reportSourceType="reportingComponent" viewerName="myreport-viewer" reportSourceVar="myreport" isOwnPage="true">
<crviewer:report reportName="myreport.rpt" />
</crviewer:viewer>
I assume that I should be able to use the same tag library approach without using Crystal Reports for Eclipse, but I haven't seen any tutorials on it. I'm trying to understand whether I should purchase Crystal Reports for Eclipse instead of Crystal Reports Developer.
This is the difference, as I understand it:
Crystal Reports Developer gives you the stand-alone Crystal Reports Designer and the right to run the JRC on an internal server. It costs <a href="http://store.businessobjects.com/store/bobjects/DisplayProductDetailsPage/productID.40434600">$595</a>.
Crystal Reports for Eclipse Standard provides a free report designer built into Eclipse. It also includes the JRC for use on an internal server.
Crystal Reports for Eclipse Professional provides "a more powerful runtime engine" with the right to run it on one internal server. It costs <a href="http://store.businessobjects.com/store/bobjects/DisplayProductDetailsPage/productID.52068100">$495</a>. Is this the same JRC provided with Crystal Reports Developer?
If the "powerful" JRC is the same as Crystal Reports Developer's JRC, could I install Crystal Reports for Eclipse Standard to take advantage of the Eclipse integration and the built-in designer, but use the more powerful JRC from Crystal Reports Developer, which would also give me the stand-alone designer?

Hi there, If you are planning on deploying a JRC application then you should definitely be using Crystal Reports for Eclipse for your runtime engine. It is the latest version of the JRC and includes many updates not available in Crystal Reports Developer.As for "power" the JRC included in CR Developer is on par with the JRC available in the Basic edition of Crystal Reports for Eclipse. The Professional edition of Crystal Reports for Eclipse provides the most powerful version of the JRC available.With the release of Crystal Reports for Eclipse, Business Objects is setting the groundwork for separating Developer needs from the Report Author needs.A professional report author will require a professional report design tool. For these users we are recommending that they purchase Crystal Reports Professional.The developer, on the other hand, generally needs the SDKs and a toolkit to assist with building applications. We believe that these should be available at no cost to the developer, only charging when the application is deployed (in this case a CR4E Pro license). This is different from the current model with Crystal Reports Developer where we have combined a professional report designer plus the required runtime.So, to summarize, definitely use Crystal Reports for Eclipse for your application runtime and have your report authors puchase Crystal Reports Professional. If you need a more powerful engine, access to technical support or plan to deploy on multiple servers then I would recommend purchasing the Crystal Reports for Eclipse Professional license for your development purposes.As for some tutorials on creating viewer pages, the integration in Eclipse provides a very simple way of accomplishing this. I would suggest reading the section titled "Creating a New Viewer Page" in our Getting Started Guide found at the following URL:<a href="/node/320"> http://diamond.businessobjects.com/node/320</a>Let me know if you have some follow-up questions. Regards, Sean Johnson (CR4E Product Manager) <a href="http://www.eclipseplugincentral.com/Web_Links-index-req-ratelink-lid-639.html">Rate this plugin @ Eclipse Plugin Central</a>

According to the release notes, for the JRCHelperSample to compile, you must set the target runtime for the project.
To do this, either create a project from scratch that uses the Tomcat 5.5 target runtime, or go to the properties menu and ensure that the target runtime is set to the application server you will be using.

Crystal Reports for Eclipse ver. 2 fails on export to excel

I have downloaded crystal reports for eclipse version 2 (full eclipse setup) and created the sample project.
The new version of JRC looks awesome on the browser. Finally the visual appeal is as good as the .NET version.
However I am having a problem with the export to excel feature. When I select export to excel, I get the following exception
Update: I just realized this problem exists for all the export options
SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet CrystalReportViewerServlet threw exception
com.businessobjects.report.web.shared.WebReportingException: getOutputStream() has already been called for this response----
(Full Exception pasted below the message)
I have not made any changes to the sample crystal reports project so I am not really sure what i am missing.
I have Microsoft Vista Ultimate with Crystal Reports 2008 trial version installed.
I have configured eclipse with Tomcat 6.0 and JDK/JRE 1.6
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I searched on scn and got the listing you mentioned.
The jsp code I am using is as follows.
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1" %><%@ taglib uri="/crystal-tags-reportviewer.tld" prefix="crviewer" %><crviewer:viewer reportSourceType="reportingComponent" viewerName="CrystalReport1-viewer" reportSourceVar="CrystalReport1" isOwnPage="true"><crviewer:report reportName="CrystalReport1.rpt" /></crviewer:viewer>
And I get the following exception on selecting any export.
WebReportingException: getOutputStream() has already been called...
So I think maybe this problem is not the same as listed under SAP Note 1199025.
Also the strange thing is I just download the full ganymede version with crystal report for eclipse version 2, and created a default crystal reports website.
The samples were provided automatically, and I have not written any code myself.
Any help would be appreciated.

Crystal Report For Eclipse: POJO problem

Hi all,
I am using crystal report for eclipse basic version and used POJO-method to implement for users to viewing my report.
I did the following:
I created a sql page (create a target table) and import into crystal report (through crystal report designer under eclipse environment) E.g. let's say I created a table with 10 fields and imported into the crystal report.
Then I drag and drop through crystal report for my report design.
Later if I need to add one more field .....
I need to modified my SQL page and re-import the sql page into my crystal report. HOWEVER, through this re-import process, I lost all the detail/information on the existing report (that mean I need to re-design my report through the designer under eclipse environmet).
My question is: Is there any better way for me to implement my report ???
THANKS .. THANKS a lot as this problem make me use a lot of my time ... THANKS

In the sceario you have described (using a SQLPage as the datasource for the report), unfortunately, this is a limitation of the workflow. If you need to change the SQL, then you essentially need to remove and re-add it to the report which means replacing all the fields on the report.
Instead, I would recommend using a class as the report's datasource. The class would represent the fields that would be used in your POJO object. This way if you need to modify the fields in the POJO, you can simply update the class and use the Verify Database to update the report.

Using .csv files in Crystal Reports for Eclipse?

I recently installed crystal reports for Eclipse and much of the basic CR functionality seems to be there, but then I added a .csv file as an ODA flat file data source and I can see it in my "Data Source Explorer", but can not seem to drag it into my report to actually report on the data in this file. Am I missing some basic step?
Thanks,
Chris

Not all data sources available via the Eclipse Database Explorer component are supported with Crystal Reports for Eclipse.
CSV data sources currently isn't on the [Supported Platforms doc|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/20c69834-cfc4-2b10-da81-960222254295]

Hi,
Please make sure you have Tomcat 5.5 installed on your machine.
Also JAVA_HOME and Tomcat's CATALINA path are set accordingly in Environment Variables.
After setting these restart machine and Eclipse.

Crystal Reports for Eclipse Version 2 - XML, XSD Report. Need hep !!!

Dear all,
I'm using Crystal Reports for Eclipse Version 2
I have looked for "Programmatically Create Reports off of XML or Web Services Data Sources", then i found some ways to do this.
But all the time, we have to use both XSD and XML files for Report Data Sources.
My question is:
1. Can we just add XSD file to report to define or update the report data definition only (no report data) ?
2. Can we just add XML file to report to update report data only (do not change report definition) ?
Anyone who have solved it, please give me an example.
Thanks in advanced.

Crystal Reports for Eclipse Install

I am attempting to install Crystal Reports for Eclipse. I am running Eclipse 3.5.0.
I am able to find the download at http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/crystalreportsforeclipse/2_0/update_site/
I select the software to download from within eclipse, the process begins and then I receive teh following message:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0.2.r678 (com.businessobjects.crystalreports.integration.eclipse.feature.feature.group 2.0.2.r678)
Missing requirement: Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0.2.r678 (com.businessobjects.crystalreports.integration.eclipse.feature.feature.group 2.0.2.r678) requires 'org.eclipse.wst.feature.group 0.0.0' but it could not be found
I have attempted the install from a local download with the same results.
Any idea on what may be missing?

Got the same issue with Eclipse 3.5. Spent several hours downloading the exact versions of the prereq's, to no avail. Still amazes me that what takes hours in Eclipse is already included in Visual Studio. No wonder everyone is ditching Java and moving to .NET.

DOWNLOAD CRYSTAL REPORTS FOR ECLIPSE 1.0.8 not compatible with java 1.4

Hi,
I understand that this plugin requires java 1.5. However, due to my company's existing infrastructure, I have to use java 1.4 for my web applications.
May I know if there is a older version of the CRYSTAL REPORTS FOR ECLIPSE compatible with java 1.4 (manual installation) available for download ?
Thanks in advance.

You can download Java Runtime version 11.8.8.x [here|http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/crystalreportsforeclipse/1_0/crystalreports-javasdk-11.8.8.zip]
It supported JDK 1.4 for a few different web application server deployment. Check platform.txt in it. However this is very old version of CR runtime and can cause other issues in crystal reports rendering etc. in which case the only solution would be to get the latest CRJ runtime.

XMLExportFormat and Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0

Hello,
I found this example code on the Crystal Reports for Eclipse wiki but can't find XMLExportFormat(s) classes in any jar. XMLExportFormatOptions is still referenced in javadoc even if it is useless as it needs the above mentioned classes.
I really need to export to default XML (as we used to do it in Crystal "save as..." menu) because those files are post-processed. Any hint ? Where can I find those classes ?
1. Create a new XMLExportFormatOptions object.
IXMLExportFormat xmlExportFormat = new XMLExportFormat();
XMLExportFormats xmlExportFormats = new XMLExportFormats();
IXMLExportFormatOptions xmlExpFormatOpts = new XMLExportFormatOptions();
2. Use the PrintOutputController class to get the list of XML export format types saved with the report.
xmlExportFormats = rcd.getPrintOutputController().getSavedXMLExportFormats();
int index = xmlExportFormats.getDefaultExportSelection();
xmlExpFormatOpts.setXMLExportSelection(index);
xmlExportFormat = xmlExportFormats.getXMLExportFormat(index);
3. Create an XMLExportFormatOptions object and set the export format type to XML.
IExportOptions expOpts = new ExportOptions();
expOpts.setExportFormatType(ReportExportFormat.XML);
4. Apply the XML export options.
expOpts.setFormatOptions(xmlExpFormatOpts);
5. Creates a new file with the specified path, name, and file extension.
String xmlPath = "C:
" + rcd.displayName() + "_" + xmlExportFormat.getName() + "." + xmlExportFormat.getFileExtension();
FileOutputStream fs = new FileOutputStream(xmlPath);
6. Creates a new ByteArrayInputStream object, streams the file using the Write method, and closes the stream.
ByteArrayInputStream byteIS = (ByteArrayInputStream)rcd.getPrintOutputController().export(expOpts);
byte[] buf = new byte[2000 * 1024];
int nRead = 0;
int maxSize = buf.length;
while ((nRead = byteIS.read(buf)) != -1)
fs.write(buf, 0, maxSize);
fs.close();

I found the code at that url:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/sdklibrary
Go to "Report Application Server Java SDK Developer Guide" link. It's a zip file.
In the zip file you can go right up to topic93.html
I found another example here:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/webcontent/uuid/f0aea666-5384-2b10-ffb0-a6facef1d5e5 [original link is broken]
See example under "Java_RAS-Managed_BE12_Export_XML"
Anyway, I've never used Crystal till now and I'm totally lost in all those libraries. I found examples but on those example pages there are never links to libraries neither references to versions. So I just downloaded Crystal Report for Eclipse 2.0 but the examples didn't compile because classes in these examples don't exist. (!?) Please, don't tell me about "you can do that or you can not do that with version X or version Y" but give me a hint on what I need to run these examples and where to find it, or simply how I can output a report to xml.
(forgive bad english)
Thanks for your help,

Crystal Reports for Eclipse - Licensing

Hello,
My company is looking for a reporting solution which can easily be integrated into an existing J2EE web application. CR4E seems to be a very interesting candidate but the license terms are a bit unclear to me.
It is mentionned on your site that the Eclipse plugins needed for development + the runtime JRC are available free of charge. However, this is contradicting the license terms in section 4.9 (Crystal Reports for Eclipse) of the [Business Objects License Agreement|https://boc.sdn.sap.com/node/449]:
Crystal Reports for Eclipse may be licensed in one of the following ways: 1) In the form of a no-fee Development License which may be downloaded at www.businessobjects.com/eclipse following completion of the required registration information; or 2) in the form of production use ERE Licenses pursuant to your completion and submission of appropriate ordering documentation and payment of applicable license and Support fees.
1) This section seems to indicate that the purchasing of an ERE license is required to use the product in production. Could you clarify this?
2) Assuming that CR4E can be used in development and production free of charge, I have seen that a keycode is required to remove watermarks from the report and to be able to run the JRC. The website mention that a free registration is needed to obtain this keycode. However, I was able to download the keycode from the site without any registration. Can we use the keycode I downloaded for multiple development environments and in the web applications we are going to deploy in production? Can the keycode expires? What is its purpose if it can be obtained without registration?
Thanks for your help and clarifications

Did you get the keycode from this page:
[https://boc.sdn.sap.com/node/462|https://boc.sdn.sap.com/node/462]
If so, then that's the Crystal Reports for Eclipse - Basic keycode. No expiry. Licensing described above applies.
Note that this keycode comes with 2 Concurrent Processing License (CPL), meaning that it services two concurrent report requests simultaneously, and further requests are queued. A "report request" isn't per-report, per-session or per-user, but any request for processing by the JRC - any clicks on the DHTML viewer for next page, last page, refresh, etc takes up a CPL till a result is returned to the client.
Note that CR4E version 1 JRC (jar version 11.8) allows you to use the Crystal Reports Developer XI Release 1 or Release 2 keycode. If you use these keycodes, then you get 3 CPLs. However, different licensing will apply, as described here:

comparable with licensing for CR.NET
