iReport 3.6 does not open

I discovered that iReport 3.6 does not work with Java 1.8, I uninstalled it and it worked right away.

Now I'm using 1.7

I used the 2 posts below as a reference, they talk about iReport 5.5.

iReport 5.5.1 doesnt load

iReport v5.5.1 execute error

I think the best solution is not to simply outdate java, in the file ireport.conf, located in "C: \ Program Files \ Jaspersoft \ iReport-3.6.2 \ etc", just include the configuration "jdkhome=" C : \ Program Files \ Java \ xjdk1.7.0_45 ", remembering that such a JDK needs to be installed, in my case I renamed it to xjdk1.7.0_45.

Following is the example of the "ireport.conf" file for version 5.1.0.

# ${HOME} will be replaced by user home directory according to platform
default_userdir="${HOME}/.${APPNAME}/5.1.0"
default_mac_userdir="${HOME}/Library/Application Support/${APPNAME}/5.1.0"

# options used by the launcher by default, can be overridden by explicit
# command line switches
default_options="--branding ireport -J-Xms256m -J-Xmx512m -J-Dorg.netbeans.ProxyClassLoader.level=1000 -J-XX:MaxPermSize=512m"
# for development purposes you may wish to append: -J-Dnetbeans.logger.console=true -J-ea

# default location of JDK/JRE, can be overridden by using --jdkhome <dir> switch
jdkhome="C:\Program Files\Java\jre7"

# clusters' paths separated by path.separator (semicolon on Windows, colon on Unices)
#extra_clusters=

Where "jdkhome" indicates the path of your JDK.
