THE SOFTWARE SETUP
Eclipse 2019-01
JasperReports 6.17
JDBC Connection SQL Server 2005-2012
Java Corretto 11
__________________________
I am able to setup the Adapter, add the proper JAR files Test successfully and Save. I am then able to create reports in Jasper with SQL, modify and save.
I can even still send the reports to our software using our IDE. However I have noticed two big issues:
- I cannot edit the data adapter. When I right-click on it and choose Edit Data Adapter nothing happens.
- If I close out of Eclipse the data adapter disappears, so I have to re-build it each time I open Eclipse (regardless whether I choose Run as Administrator or not).
This issue did not occur for me with Eclipse 2020-03 (same version of Jasper (6.17)). Has anyone else seen this issue? If so, how did you fix it?
Note it is not such a simple issue to revert back to Eclipse 2020-03 because our latest software is designed to work with 2021-09.
Cheers,
-Steve

Hi Steve,
I don't have a firm explanation to the issue you had but here is what I managed to gather:
The Eclipse plug-in scenarios are usually causing more issues than when using Jaspersoft Studio standalone, because there are many Eclipse flavors and versions and we cannot test them all and the JSS plugin might be in conflict with other plugins.
The Jaspersoft dev team doesn't specifically recall having an issue which is causing the data adapters to disappear.
What can cause issues when using the plugin is the java version.
When using the Eclipse plugin, the users can use any Java version they want and we already saw that Java 17 can be problematic with our recent versions, that’s why we still ship the RCP/standalone JSS with Java 11.
If the issue reappear I would encourage you to log it in a bug report or if possible to use the standalone JasperSoft Studio which is available to download open source on this portal.
I hope this helps,

Updated for those wondering - we updated to 2021-09 and that fixed the issue for the new version of our product. But would still like to know why this issue is occurring.
