Jaspersoft Communications Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 (edited) Hello, we have released Jaspersoft Studio 6.21.1 with a modified BSD-type license that is limited to binary code use. As such, we are no longer able to host this as a free download on open-source software sites and have retired earlier versions. Jaspersoft Studio is backwards compatible and allows a user to export prior work. If you have any issues moving your work to the latest edition, please post to our forum and we will do our best to assist you. Jaspersoft Studio community edition is still free, allowing users to continue with your developments with the latest installer. This project is very active, our Jaspersoft team will continue to contribute to this project moving forward.

unmak1 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 (edited) Too risky for an end-user for my MIT project, that has to build a report. That is the BCL license, the same Oracle used back in the day for its Java SE ( Java 8?) I think I will switch to another library, thanks anyway.

This project is very active, our Jaspersoft team will continue to contribute to this project moving forward. We have bundled JasperReports version 6.2.1 into our core business product and can currently not upgrade this as there is always a risk of conflicting libraries. As of now it's impossible for developers or customers to develop reports using JasperSoft Studio 6.2.1 as the software is unavailable. Using a more recent version of JasperSoft Studio like 6.21.1 is no option as reports developed with this version will not run against the bundled 6.2.1 version. For most of our customers it's also not possible to install the software using an executable, hence the need of the installation using the ZIP-file. We have been using the Jasper software for about 15 years now (since iReports) and it would be a pity if we would have to look for a different reporting tool as this would mean a lot of work to integrate this with out core business product. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giulio Toffoli Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Hi Dila, thank you for your message. You can use the latest version of Jaspersoft Studio to create jrxml compatible with any version of JasperReports. To be sure that the produced jrxml will work with your specific JasperReports version, set the Jaspersoft Studio compatibility from the Preferences: About the zip version of Jaspersoft Studio CE 6.21.1, this is definitively something we can provide in the set of available downloads. Hope this helps Giulio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We use the same library 6.2.1, but Compatibility settings is not sufficient, because we also need to precomile and deploy subreports in contrast to main reports. Older compiler versions are not possible to installt due to different bugs (6.20.6). Therefor we and out customers can only use studio 6.2.1. We also need the zip version to install maven plugin and distribute preconfigured studio. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the Jaspersoft Studio open source? I am a bit confused with the "binary code" term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaspersoft Communications Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Hello @JorgeMartin Jaspersoft Studio is no longer open source but freely available as binaries. JasperReports Library is open source LGPL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paradigm Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 @Michelle R As it's freely availably, why are the downloads hidden behind a login? How are we supposed to bundle the software for Linux distributions like NixOS which need ELF patching? The installer won't work here and the software would be unusable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
