Replace custom fork of OpenPDF with newly released version on Maven Central

[zimmi]

Hi,

OpenPDF 1.3.32 is now available on Maven Central, which contains the fix for https://github.com/LibrePDF/OpenPDF/issues/676 (PR: https://github.com/LibrePDF/OpenPDF/pull/903). If I'm understanding correctly, this was the reason to use a custom fork of OpenPDF in JasperReports. That means we can switch to the official 1.3.32 now, correct?

Best regards, zimmi

Am I crazy or this broken on implementation 'net.sf.jasperreports:jasperreports:6.21.0 ? I am getting error for the PDF creation

[arvera]

Hmm there is something funny.. do I need to add dependancy explicitly?

i am getting the following error even with 6.20.6:

Execution failed for task ':compileJava'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':compileClasspath'.
   > Could not find com.github.librepdf:openpdf:1.3.30.jaspersoft.3.
     Required by:
         project : > net.sf.jasperreports:jasperreports:6.20.6

Okay.. I got everything working using:

        implementation 'net.sf.jasperreports:jasperreports:6.20.6'
    //implementation 'com.lowagie:itext:2.1.7'
    implementation 'com.itextpdf:itextpdf:5.5.13.3'
    implementation 'com.github.librepdf:openpdf:1.3.32'

I can now create a PDF sucessfuly without getting the NoClassDefFound for several classes

@arvera Judging by the release page for 6.21.0, the fix is in a commit that happened after the release (https://github.com/TIBCOSoftware/jasperreports/commit/e113638e6306c1321d03f02647c80cb61cbbbe17). So we'll have to wait for the next release.

Edit: Just for completeness, the fix got released with 6.21.2.
