[#13486] - Compatibility Issue with JFree jar : jfreechart-1.5.3.jar with jasperreports-6.16.0.jar

Hello Team,

We are Blocked on third party upgrade for JFreeChart jar due to Jasper Library Dependency.

Here is Detail :
We are using Jasper Reporting Library Version : jasperreports-6.16.0.jar
It is working with a quite older version of Jfree jar : jfreechart-1.0.19.jar
We want to upgrade jfree jar to jfreechart-1.5.3.jar
But New Version is not compatible with Jasper Library.
We checked it with jasper 6.10.0 and Seems issue still persist with Jasper 6.16.0

Can we have a fix here or any work around to upgrade Jfreechart jar ?

Below is error log after JFree Upgrade :
