Jaspersoft Studio - Manage Jasperreports versions

[quiwi]

Hi everyone,

I just started using Jaspersoft studio to author and compile some reports. I was trying to add and older jasperreports library using the process detailed here:

http://community.jaspersoft.com/wiki/compile-older-jasperreports-version-jaspersoft-studio

However, it seems that the download fails for all v4.x libraries. Presumably, this is because they have been moved to the archive folder on sourceforge. I naively tried to manually add the jasperreports libraries by unpacking the revelant files into  a folder in "JaspersoftWorkspace.metadata.pluginscom.jaspersoft.studiojrCompilers/" (and adding the JRToolKit jar), but it is now giving me compilation errors.

Rather than trying to blindly push ahead, I was wondering if:

1. Is there any way to change what source Jaspersoft studio is downloading from? I could just update it to the correct url for the library. Or,

2. Does anyone have any steps on how to manually add a older jasperreports library to Jaspersoft studio?

Thanks!

This is a known bug and a case has already been created. The problem is older versions of JasperReports have been moved to Archived folder at SourceForge. Hopefully this will be fixed in the next release - some where next month?
