Re: [M1] compiling jasper reports

[Wim Deblauwe]

I found the solution, I'm posting it here in case anybody got the same
problem. It seems that you need to include ant-apache-regexp *and*
jakarta-regexp to your dependencies. Even more you need to add the
<classloader>root</classloader> property to you dependencies.

This is the relevant piece in the project.xml:

       <!-- For compiling the jasper reports -->
       <dependency>
           <groupId>ant</groupId>
           <artifactId>ant-apache-regexp</artifactId>
           <version>1.6.5</version>
           <properties>
               <classloader>root</classloader>
           </properties>
       </dependency>
       <dependency>
           <groupId>jakarta-regexp</groupId>
           <artifactId>jakarta-regexp</artifactId>
           <version>1.4</version>
           <properties>
               <classloader>root</classloader>
           </properties>
       </dependency>
       <!-- end dependencies list for compiling jasper reports -->

And these are the bits I added to my maven.xml:

   <postGoal name="java:compile">
       <attainGoal name="compileJasperReports"/>
   </postGoal>

   <!-- Jasper reports compliation -->
   <goal name="compileJasperReports">
       <taskdef name="jrc"
                classname="net.sf.jasperreports.ant.JRAntCompileTask">
           <ant:classpath>
               <ant:path refid="maven.dependency.classpath"/>
           </ant:classpath>
       </taskdef>

       <ant:jrc
               srcdir="${basedir}/src/main/jasper"
               destdir="${maven.build.dest}"
               tempdir="${maven.build.dest}"
               keepjava="false"
               xmlvalidation="true">
           <ant:classpath>
               <ant:path refid="maven.dependency.classpath"/>
               <ant:pathelement path="${maven.build.dest}"/>
           </ant:classpath>
           <ant:include name="**/*.jrxml"/>
       </ant:jrc>
   </goal>

Hi,

anybody has experience with compiling jasperreports with Maven 1?

I tried to integrate their ant task into my maven.xml, but I keep getting
"No supported regular expression matcher found".

I check the jasper forums (http://www.jasperforge.org) and found simular
questions, but none of the proposed solutions seem to work.

any help would be highly appriciated!

regards,

Wim
