Jaspersoft Studio compiling legacy reports throws net.sf.jasperreports.engine does not exist

I'm trying to use the Compatibility features in Jaspersoft Studio 6.5.1(latest), but I get the following error when compiling reports:

 "package net.sf.jasperreports.engine does not exist".

enter image description here

I use properties > Jaspersoft Studio > Compatibility to load previous versions of jasper reports.

I then select a previous version for the compiler

I also tried adding the legacy versions directly to the build path...

..But that didn't resolve the error. I'm running it on Ubuntu.

Solution

  • If you download the jasperreports-x.x.x-project.zip from sourceforge and unzip each one, then set the JasperStudio managed version location at each folder you unzipped to you should hopefully find that solves your problem
