Also found that using Ibex and open JDK 6, I do get some text but lots of text missing.
I found that reverting back to SUN JDK5 also completely solves the problem. -- All generated Jasper reports are blank w/ openjdk-6-jdk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/303291 You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenJDK, which is subscribed to openjdk-6 in ubuntu. Status in “openjdk-6” source package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: All reports created using jasper reports (http://jasperforge.org/plugins/project/project_home.php?group_id=102) are outputted blank with the OpenJDK included in Intrepid and Jaunty. I'm seeing this on different machines, so I guess it's not a local configuration problem. This is a critical bug since some commercial-strength software, expecially on the server side, are relying on JasperReports to do their Business Intelligence analysis. At my company, we lost several days after an Intrepid upgrade hunting down this (we initially blamed JasperReports, or a bug in the application generating the data). They heavily pressured me to switch to Windows 2003 Server due to this :-(. To try out this bug, download iReport from http://jasperforge.org/plugins/project/project_home.php?group_id=83, unpack it, create an empty report, and try generating an output with an empty dataset (or set up one) -- it doesn't matter the output format. No text will be displayed, even for static labels. Maybe I'm wrong, but if I recall correctly it worked with Hardy's OpenJDK. Switching to Sun's official (non-free!) JDK 6 fixes this, anyway. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openjdk Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openjdk More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
