Why am I getting a compilation error "org / codehaus / groovy / control / CompilationFailedException"?

Question

I am trying to compile my JasperReports template using Ant script and Java. I get this error:

jasper java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/codehaus/groovy/control/CompilationFailedException 

There is nothing complicated in the template, but I still can not compile.

Answer 1

You need to set the language value in your Java template. You can do this in two ways:

• If you are using iReport, select the root object in your Report Inspector (one that has the same name as your report). Then, in the Properties window, select Java from the Languages ​​drop-down list.

• If you are editing raw markup in a JRXML file, remove language="groovy" from the file.

Then try recompiling - you should be sorted. :)

Answer 2

Another solution is to copy groovy -all- {version} .jar from the groovy binary distribution to the application.

Answer 3

If you are using TIBCOJaspersoftStudio:

• Download the latest groovy 2.4. * jar from http://groovy-lang.org/download.html
• Unzip and get this file. / groovy -2.4.10 / embeddable / groovy -all-2.4.10.jar
• Put the can in. / TIBCOJaspersoftStudio -6.3.1.final/plugins
• Delete the old jar: ./ TIBCOJaspersoftStudio-6.3.1.final/plugins/ groovy-all_2.4.5.jar

Answer 4

Change the language to java in JRXML (ex: - language = "java") or add groovy *. jar in your way to project classes.
