Jasper report working fine in netbeans but gives e

Question

I'm working on my final year project using java swings and jasper reports for reporting.The application including the reports work fine when I run the application in netbeans but when I deploy it to a jar file and then try to execute it using my command prompt I see this huge text of exception.

The following function invokes the jasper report :

    public void printReport(String adID){
       try {
            Map parameters = new HashMap();
            InputStream jasperIS =this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/Reports/AllHoardings.jasper");
            User connect=new User();
            JasperPrint print=JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperIS,parameters,connect.getConnection());
            JasperViewer.viewReport(print,false);
        }catch(JRException je){
            System.out.println(je.toString() +" @ line 2043");
        }catch (Exception e) { System.out.println(e.toString());       }
    }

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/codehaus/groovy/control/CompilationFailedException

This error suggests to me that NetBeans is solving your issues with Groovy and Jasper Reports in a way that your JAR file is not. Check to see if there are JARs missing from your JAR manifest that pertain to Groovy. If yes, add them.
