JasperReports Server CE Fork – Current Release, Version and Download?

Hello everyone,

in the thread
https://jasper-forum.com/forum/topic/fork-of-community-edition/
I saw that @jose-da-s is developing a fork of the JasperReports Server Community Edition.
I reviewed the GitHub repository and it seems to be actively maintained.

I have a few questions:
Is there a current release?
What is the latest version number?
Where can it be downloaded?
Is a Windows installer available?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I mostly just maintain the sources but it is not hard to make your own war installer (i dont know about exe). you can build the source code acording with the instructions in the README.md, and then you can make a zip that contains the buildomatic folder, the jasperserver.war from jasperserver-war/target and a bundled ant. the structure will be

jasper-server-os-8.4.0
+- buildomatic
|  +- conf_source
|  +- install_resources
|  +- js-install-ce.sh
|  \- <etc>
+- jasperserver.war
\- apache-ant
.  +- bin
.  +- lib
.  \- <etc>

then you can install this as it is explained in the install guide in chapter 3:

https://community.jaspersoft.com/documentation_pdf/jasperreports%C2%AE-server/jasperreports-server-community-project-installation-guide-820/

I made some releases versino 8.3.0 and 8.4.0 of course it is nothing very official, just some milestones. But they should be backwards compatible except that you need Java 17 for 8.4.0

I could not find an “apache-ant” folder in the repository. Do you mean that I should download the original ANT distribution separately and integrate it into the installer?

Thanks in advance.

yes, just unzip the binary distribution. you can see the structure in my first post. The current version of ANT should work.

It is working fine now. Thanks for your help.

AFAICS, this will work ok using Java 17. Would it be ok with Java 21? With Tomcat 10?
Also, will it accept JasperStudio 6.20 (CE) report files (jrxml and such)

Hi.

It works definitely with Coretto and Temurin 21. Prefer Tomcat 11 😉

You can use Jasperreports Version 6 or 7 reports.

Unfortunately I got only the official Jasper Studio 7.0.6 working with the server, with other versions the Jasper Server plugin seems to fail, when trying to connect to server.

It seems, you can get professional support for this for here: https://biosdb.de/jasper-server-os/

Cheers.
