    When you are compiling a format, JRCompiler.getJavaCompiler() tries to first load org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.Compiler by calling JRClassLoader.loadClassForName(String). If the class isn't on the classpath a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError is thrown. Since this class doesn't inherit from java.lang.Exception, it is missed by the try/catch block it's in, preventing it from trying to locate an alternate compiler. The try/catch blocks in this method should be changed to catch java.lang.Throwable instead so this exception is caught.

    Hi,

     

    I think you should send us the stack trace, because those methods are expected to throw ClassNotFoundException and not NoClassDefFoundError.

    I suspect there is something wrong with the third party libraries found in your classpath (are they incomplete?).

    Anyway, it is the first time we hear of this problem and the code was not touched for years.

     

    Telling us the exact versions you are using would also help.

     

    Thank you,

    Teodor
