JasperReports Shadow Jar

This project was created to show to my students the use of JasperReports Inside a Uber/Shadow Jar.

It is a JavaFx project where you can press a button, see the progress on a progress bar, and at the end a pdf file will be opened automatically, a pdf wile will be created at user.home/Downloads ( so write permission will be needed ).

Two services was created one to load data and other to generate the report.

This two services show their process on the same progress bar.

It uses maven to automate project execution and distribution.

The project uses custom jasperreports properties to configure custom fonts to be used in reports and distributed with uber JarApp.

Running

mvn clean javafx:run

After clone you can use any maven IDE ( or editor ), to access project folder and type mvn clean javafx:run, all dependencies will be handled by gradle, and the project window will be opened.
