    If you still use the old iReport you should know that it is obsolete and that since December 2015 it stopped being updated.

    It is very clear on the pageiReport :

    What the note says is this:

    Starting with version 5.5.0, Jaspersoft Studio will be the official design client for JasperReports. iReport will remain a supported product in maintenance-only mode until December 31, 2015, which means we will continue to fix critical flaws in future releases, but no new features will be added to the iReport client. Continue to maintain your existing reports with the new Jaspersoft Studio!

    In fact, there is now a much improved design tool over the old iReport designer, it's called Jaspersoft Studio .

    I will show various ways to put the current date on any report.

    In the palette you have a small widget that is used to put the current date / time. There you have it, it says Current Date:

    You just select it with the mouse and drag it to the part of the report you want:

    I have dragged it to the bottom of the page:

    Let's see a preview:

    We can give it another format if we want. Let's go back to the tab Design. We select the field, right click and then Show Properties, then Text fieldand in the input Patternyou write this: dd 'de' MMMM 'de' yyyyor any other valid format desired.

    other possibilities

    • You can directly use Java code in a text field. It's as easy as dragging a TextField, double clicking on it and typing for example this in the expression editor that will open:

      new SimpleDateFormat("dd 'de' MMMM 'de' yyyy").format(new Date())

    • Since version 5.1.2 you can use expressions like TODAY(). If you open a text field and simply type: TODAY(), it will show you the current date, and you can format it like we did before. For more details on this you can see the article titled Custom Functions in Report Expressions .
