Is or isn't hyphenation implemented in JasperReport after version 5.6.1?

[bo_6]

Hi! 

I am using JasperReport 6.12.2. I have a textfield I need to hyphenate, and I was therefore glad to see that there is a patch which implemented hyphenation in JR 5.6.1, which led me to believe that newer versions of JR would also support this feature. I loaded itext-hyph-xml.jar into the lib in my project and added the specified properties to my textfield in the .jrxml (screenshot of code attached). 

Am I doing it wrong or was this patch not included in later versions? Do I need to specify more properties, like which language's hyphenation rules to use? 

Thank you for any clarification and/or tips on how to make this work!
