I tried to add jasper reports library (net.sf.jasperreports:jasperreports:5.2.0) as a maven dependency to my project , unfortunately one of it's dependencies com.lowagie:itext:2.1.7.js2 is a little bit untypical and cannot be located in maven central. I've found, however, that it's available at http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/maven2/com/lowagie/itext/ . My questions are: 1. What is the purpose of jaspersoft own build of iText (patches)? 2. Is it safe to use regular iText library, version 2.1.7 found in maven central repo? Regards, AD

I also use iReport currently, it performs much better

Hi, I've tried JasperSoft Studio for the first time, but it works very slowly. User actions such as clicking a text field on report design usually take at least one second. During that time I can see how all text-field formatting controls (top toolbar / properties view / etc) are slowly refreshed. If I hold Ctrl and press a couple of text fields in a row, this takes even longer. This happens not only when I click something on the design, but also when I choose a component eg. in Outline view. That is just one of examples, there is more such situations where the studio is so laggy. For instance, entering text of static label in the report design. I can type a couple of letters, then quickly press backspace several times and watch how it's being "animated" for the next 1 or 2 seconds. Is there anything wrong with my setup of machine/OS or JasperSoft Studio is basically so slow? My hardware is quite ok ( DELL Latitude E6530, Intel Core i5). My software is Win7, JRE1.7u25. I tried both 32 and 64 bit versions of JasperSoft Studio 5.2.0 but both seem to be so laggy.
