Avoid Jasper Studio adding timestamp comment in jrxml file

In Jasper Studio 6.1.1 final each time you save a report file a timestamp comment is added to the jrxml file like this:

<!-- Created with Jaspersoft Studio version 6.1.1.final using JasperReports Library version 6.1.1  -->
<!-- 2016-07-22T15:29:22 -->

This behaviour is annoying when you use a version system like SVN or Git because it marks the file as pending of commit for no reason (if no real changes were done).

Solution

  • Menu Windows -> Preferences -> Jaspersoft Studio: uncheck the option Add timestamp information when saving the JRXML file.

    On newer versions of Jaspersoft Studio you may need to click on Compatibility option after the Jaspersoft Studio option (I can't test this by now).
