Jars required to compile simple jrxml with an html5 element

Question:

When using the JR API/library version 5.5, what are the minimum required jars for compile & fill of a jrxml that contains an html5 element.  This question does not apply to export, only compile & fill.

Answer:

Report's containing html5/highcharts can compile with the libs shipped with pro JasperReports API in  jasperreports-pro-5.5.0lib and jasperreports-pro-5.5.0jasperreportslib, though not all are required since many are only necessary for particular components/elements, or particular export type.   For example, barcode4j-2.1.jar is only necessary if you have a barcode in your chart,  likewise the poi-3.7-20101029.jar from poi.apache.org is only necessary if exporting to Microsoft formats like .docx.

The following is the minimal list of jars needed to compile (transform the file from a .jrxml into a compiled jasper design file, aka .jasper) a report containing an html5/highchart element:

• commons-beanutils-1.8.0.jar 
• commons-collections-2.1.1.jar 
• commons-digester-2.1.jar 
• commons-javaflow-20060411.jar 
• commons-LICENSE.txt 
• commons-logging-1.1.1.jar 
• commons-NOTICE.txt 
• groovy-all-2.0.1-LICENSE.txt 
• groovy-all-2.0.1.jar 
• jasperreports-5.5.0.jar 
• jasperreports-fusion-5.5.0.jar 
• jasperreports-highcharts-5.5.0.jar 
• jasperreports-license-5.1.0.jar 
• jasperreports-pro-5.1.0.jar 
• protection-4.6.3.jar 
• rhino-1.7R3-LICENSE.txt 
• rhino-1.7R3.jar 
• servlet-api-2.4.jar 
• spring-2.5.5-LICENSE.txt 
• spring-beans-2.5.5.jar 
• spring-core-2.5.5.jar 

Note that the groovy jar may not be required depending on the report type.  

For filling, you also need to add jars that your datasource requires, like a jdbc driver in the case of a jdbc datasource.   For exporting you'll obviously need to add jars pertinent to your export type.
