I'm facing an identical issue using JasperReports 3.6.0 (it's a legacy system I don't have much control over). Any traction on resolving this issue?

[mitchell.probst]

It is related to this issue, you do not have everything in your classpath that you actually need to compile the report. If you're following this guide be warned that it is NOT adding all of the items required.  It seems like this guide has been broken since at least Feb. 2017 (see the answer to this item).

What worked for me personally was to take all the jars listed in the first issue, and put them all together in a single directory, then finally configure the compiler to point to that directory.  I hope this helps!

Crapstersoft must be the junkiest software company ever. This option is not working neither it ever has, but noone gives a damn here. Look at these comments, dated from years ago. Nothing to do. Noone in the docs (https://community.jaspersoft.com/documentation/tibco-jaspersoft-studio-user-guide/v630/setting-compatibility-earlier-versions) says where you can download these libraries (even if it's as easy as browsing in their Sourceforge - https://sourceforge.net/projects/jasperreports/files/archive/jasperreports/JasperReports%204.5.1/ - noone mentions this, and noone says it's the .ZIP file the one you must get); noone says there's a dropdown Maven URL list where the program is supposed to get the files - but it won't work either because they are written with the HTTP protocol (those are not working anymore) instead of the HTTPS one. Can this be further lamer? YEAH, IT CAN: after solving this... the project or the individual .jrxml will not compile, either! Still, you'll get a bunch of unsolvable exceptions:

Noone will care ever about these bugs.
