Fork of community edition?
Quote from jose-da-s on 18. December 2025, 16:44Hello all,
I have some tweaks to Jasper reports server. I thought I could contribute them to a fork now that Jaspersoft is not maintaining the Community edition any more.
But it appears that all the forks are inactive. so I thought starting my own, inspired by OpenTF 🙂
It is in https://github.com/jose-da-s/jasper-server-os if anyone wants to contribute.
If someone else has an active fork, please tell me and I will try to add my tweaks there.

that sounds very cool and meanwhile we inspected your repo; it looks very good and we thank you for you good work. That would be a nice replacement for many of our customers still running the old 8.2. Community Edition.
Me and my colleagues want to be happy contributors. I would appreciate to have a further communication with you to get a bit more information about how you select participants and how deep you check foreign contributions. As you can imagine, nowadays I worry a bit about security.
Pls. send me a short PM, I would be glad to discuss some topics directly with you.
Hope to hear you soon,
Thomas

I just took a look at your repository. It's cool that you're keeping this project alive.
But I noticed a problem: it seems you recently merged a branch "java-17-only" and building with Java 8 or 11 is impossible now. What is the rationale behind this?

Quote from jose-da-s on 30. January 2026, 19:33Yes, java 17 is the oldest version that many libraries supports. i want to update JSOS with spring 6, hibernate 6, ect. with the Jakarta migration. Spring 6 needs Java 17 as minimum requirement, so I have to do it in any case.
maybe I will make a branch for old Java versions, but i think it is a waste of time. Even Java 17 is quite old

From my point of view it is only consequent to cut old, deprecated stuff and focus on further development and the future.
We will support your fork, have an eye on it and try to contribute from time to time and according to the needs.
If ok for you, I will promote your fork in our NEWS section of the forum.
Thanks for your cool work!
