Blocker issue. https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/net.sf.jasperreports/jasperreports/6.... or latest 6.13.0 are no more usable as it due to a reference to http://www.mvnrepository.com/com/lowagie/itext/2.1.7.js7/itext-2.1.7.js7... that have been removed/moved from mvncentral.
Here is the error that I get:
Failed to collect dependencies at net.sf.jasperreports:jasperreports:jar:6.11.0 -> com.lowagie:itext:jar:2.1.7.js7: Failed to read artifact descriptor for com.lowagie:itext:jar:2.1.7.js7: Could not transfer artifact com.lowagie:itext:pom:2.1.7.js7 from/to mvnrepository (http://www.mvnrepository.com): Failed to transfer file http://www.mvnrepository.com/com/lowagie/itext/2.1.7.js7/itext-2.1.7.js7... with status code 308 -> [Help 1]
The new lowagie/itext repo seems to be this one: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.lowagie/itext
Thanks for your support.

My build just succeed to download it via your third-party repository. But I think the original issue could even be fixed.

itext 2 is not maintained any more.
There is a drop-in replacement: https://github.com/LibrePDF/OpenPDF
Please upgrade Jasperreports to OpenPDF
I ran against the same problem this week.
After investigating the maven central repo and the ICM repo http://maven.icm.edu.pl/artifactory/repo/ i came to the conclusion the dependency is no more available until finding this issue and the provided solution.
Now i see the state of this issue is 'open' and marked 'blocking'since 01/06/2020 without any response from the maintainers.
How is this not blocking for any others?
@thibault.duez i'm wondering how you found out it has been moved to the jaspersoft repo.
And is there documentation about this (or do we just have to search ourselves)?
@keesvandieren also makes a good point. Notifying the dependency in question is really outdated.
Even no more maintained. is there an action plan?
iText 2.1.7.js7 is available at http://jaspersoft.jfrog.io/jaspersoft/third-party-ce-artifacts/
You'll need to add that repository to your project.
See https://github.com/TIBCOSoftware/jasperreports/issues/148 and https://github.com/TIBCOSoftware/jasperreports/issues/109 for some discussion on this.

Thanks for the update. We have added the repository and i will try to upgrade jasper reports to the latest version.
