Images
Resources such as images that are attachments can be referenced using $P{RESOURCE_DIR}.
An image path would look like

Resource bundles
Resource bundles are property files for translating reports into different languages.
By default iDempiere-JasperReports looks for a resource file with the same name as the JasperFile, ie, the Jasperfile is called Report.jasper and then it will look for Report.properties and Report_en_US.properties etc. This might be practical if you only have one single report and have no need to share translations between different reports.
When https://idempiere.atlassian.net/browse/IDEMPIERE-1215 has been resolved you can also specify a custom name on the Resource Bundle. This enables you to share resource bundles between reports.
NOTE! iDempiere doesn't handle resource bundles with country specific languange until after IDEMPIERE-1215 have been resolved.
