JasperReports 3.7.1 Support

Classic Servoy
1

Hi all,

Does the Servoy Jasper Plugin v. 3.0.0 support the latest version of JasperReports - 3.7.1?

I was looking at the release notes for the JasperReports and noticed that they have switched to POI 3.5 and iText 2.1.7

Is this a source of any conflicts with the released Servoy Jasper Plugin v3.0.0 which uses POI 3.2 and iText 2.1.0?

If we want to update to the latest version of JasperReports, what should be the steps to do that (obviously, we have to use the new jasperreports-3.7.1.jar file and update accordingly the servoy_jasperreports.jar.jnlp file but do we need to add/update the POI and the iText as well)? In another post here related to using barcodes with JasperReports 3.7.1, the author mentions only the update of the jasperreports-3.7.1.jar file but there is no mentioning of the POI and iText libraries.

Any information on this will be highly appreciated!
Thanks for your help.

Although my tips is dated now the approach seems to be still valid:

So yes be careful when updating all places in the plugins directory for iText and possibly the PDF.
