I have some problems with a jasperreports report file. When i use java 1.7 the report is running correctly.
When i use java 1.8 and run the report i got the following error: The type java.lang.CharSequence cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files.
How could i fix this?
There was a major change in the JRE going from version 1.7 to 1.8 that affected other plugins/programs (e.g. Patrick Talbot’s Code Signer program). You did not specify, but I suspect the Jasper Report (JR) plugin you are using is an older one (before version 6.0). So, you may want to try updating your JR plugin when running with JRE 1.8. We use JRE 1.8 with JR plugin 6.0 and have no problems.

The solution is perfectly working. Many thanks for you`re quick reply.
