I am working on a legacy application which uses an old version of jasper reports. Now from Jul, the build is failing because the jasper reports version 2.0.5 has a dependency on itext version [1.02b,) which in turn was pointing to version 4.2.2 which does not exist in the maven repository. More details are given in the link below

Dependency error in jasper-reports from itext

On following the answers i updated the jasperreports version to 3.5.3

<dependency>
    <groupId>jasperreports</groupId>
    <artifactId>jasperreports</artifactId>
    <version>3.5.3</version>
</dependency>

and also tried 

<dependencies>
<dependency>
        <groupId>jasperreports</groupId>
        <artifactId>jasperreports</artifactId>
        <version>2.0.1</version>
        <exclusions>
            <exclusion>
                <groupId>com.lowagie</groupId>
                <artifactId>itext</artifactId>
            </exclusion>
        </exclusions>           
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.lowagie</groupId>
    <artifactId>itext</artifactId>
    <version>2.1.7</version>
    <scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>

...

In both cases the build was successful but when the application is deployed, during runtime when i am trying to generate the report, I get the error

net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException: Report compiler class not found : org.codehaus.mojo.jasperreports.MavenJavacCompiler

I am not able to figure out what is causing the issue. The JRE version on the server is 1.5 and i have tried building the app in both 1.5 and 1.6,it fails on both accounts.

Please help.

Thanks, Tatha

  • check that all .jasper file is aligned with jasper runtime?, recompile all reports with current version – Petter Friberg Dec 09 '16 at 16:14
  • seems it's a maven dependency issue. can you share the version of jasper and itext that are resolved by maven not the one from your pom.xml by launching mvn dependency:tree – loicmathieu Dec 13 '16 at 13:59
  • @Tatha Please share the project's dependency tree. Aslo try using `4.2.2` from the group `com.lowagie` or `4.2.1` from the group `itext`.(latest version) Also jasperreports have been moved to [Jasper's Maven Repo](https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/net.sf.jasperreports/jasperreports/6.4.0`), please check. – Naman Dec 15 '16 at 05:08
  • @loic mathie and nullpointer: Sorry for the delay, but I don´t know how to edit the question from Tatha, so I will post my dependency tree as an answer. Also I have big problems in understanding all the maven related stuff. I just came fresh to an old project. I tried to build with maven and got the same problems/JRException like Tatha had before. – Tobias Otto Dec 15 '16 at 10:43

Hello all

I don´t know how to edit the question from @Tatha, so I will post my dependency tree as an answer here. I have big problems in understanding all the maven related stuff. I just came fresh to an old project. I tried to build with maven and got the same problems/JRException like Tatha had before.

So here is the pom.xml from the project, which I can not build:
