Pentaho Reporting SDK nightly build

Once the Pentaho Reporting artifact has been built, all the Pentaho Reporting libraries will be available in it, as described in Chapter 1, Introduction to Pentaho Reporting. In this section, you are going to learn how to use the nightly build in your Java projects, using Pentaho Reporting in its latest (and possibly unstable) release for evaluation purpose.

Assuming that you have an existing Java project using Pentaho Reporting, let's see in the following sections how to update it to use the nightly build. As an example, you can use one of the examples available in the GitHub repository at https://github.com/fcorti/pentaho-8-reporting-for-java-developers.

To prepare the project, copy it into a working folder. As an example, you could use the project stored in the Chapter 03 - Getting started with Reporting SDK/pentaho-reporting-web-app folder.
