(on a Windows instance possibly: C:\Program Files\iReport-3.7.6\etc\) Modify the iReport config file ' nf' found in the 'etc' folder in the iReport installation directory. To resolve this issue, simply install the Java 7 JDK (unless already installed) on the machine on which iReport is installed and then configure iReport to use the JDK rather than your local JRE.Ģ.

The culprit is Java 8 as iReport is not compatible with Java 8 run time - well at least version 3.7.6 is not. I have since had a few support calls about this same issue, so I figure I will post the solution here. I ran in to this problem some time ago whereby for no apparent reason, when I ran iReport the splash screen would appear, but no loading took place, the usual progress bar made no progress.
