Why do I get Exception java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError org/codehaus/groovy/?

Question

I've just try Jasper Report, I'm following tutorial from this site

Also I downloaded the sample source then run it and got no error. But when I create my own report using iReport, compile it, and add the .jasper file to my project. There is exception when I run my program:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/codehaus/groovy/runtime/callsite/CallSiteArray

Here my button action for displaying the report (this is just sample, the report just contain one text with parameter: outputText):

Map params = new HashMap();
params.put("outputText", "Hello world");
try {
        JasperPrint printer = JasperFillManager.fillReport(getClass().getResourceAsStream("report2.jasper"), params, new JREmptyDataSource());
        JasperViewer jv = new JasperViewer(printer);
        jv.show();
    } catch (JRException ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }

If it's dependency problem, I've imported all the required jar to my project, when I use .jasper file from that tutorial there is no problem, is it because of the different version of iReport or else?

do you have the jar **groovy** included in your classpath? See [Groovy](http://groovy.codehaus.org/Download) — M. Abbas, Aug 02 '12 at 08:39
yes, I've groovy-all-1.5.5.jar and [Jasper documentation](http://jasperforge.org/projects/jasperreports) say that minimum requirement is groovy-all-1.5.5.jar but it comes to that exception, when I use groovy-2.0.1.jar it solved — Fahmi Ramadhan, Aug 02 '12 at 08:48

Alternatively, you can change the .jrxml file, look for

language="groovy"

and change it to

language="java"

It may be because of a version mismatch. If you want to know which version of Groovy you need, you can just look at a Maven Repository for Jasper:

http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/net.sf.jasperreports/jasperreports/4.6.0

From here you can see that you require Groovy 1.7.5 for Jasper 4.6.0

Thanks! This worked for me. I was using Jasper 5.6.0 and I got Groovy 1.7.5 but after checking mvnrepository I realized and change to Groovy 2.0.1. – Rodolfo Velasco Jan 16 '15 at 20:04

You need additional Jar package using CallSiteArray class.

I had the same issue while using Jasper iReport Tool 5.6.0 i had language as Java, and the right jasper report library I down graded to iReport Tool 5.1.0 and it worked like a charm...hope the status remains so..

No need to change the libraries , In case of Ireport 5.X Version you can change it in the language section of the main report properties, Just change from groovy to java and reports wont give any error.
