I am looking to use JasperReports 4.5.0 in a project of mine and would like to know what are the minimum dependencies for only PDF generation. I tried looking through their site and readme docs and found absolutely nothing. I also came across this installation wiki which seems very outdated (version 1.2.2). Is there any recent documentation of the required jars?

Do you mean generation with help of JasperReports API? – Alex K Dec 14 '11 at 14:43

3You can look at `pom.xml` from distribution package. – Alex K Dec 14 '11 at 14:47

@AlexK yes. But `pom.xml` lists things like `poi` which is required if you want to generate Excel spreadsheets, which is not an intended use in my project. Edit: I see that it list that things are optional in there. Thanks never knew that before. – Danny Dec 14 '11 at 14:50

2I think it takes you about 10 minutes to make experiment - to comment dependencies and try to launch application. – Alex K Dec 14 '11 at 14:53

I have a Java Swing app that uses Jasper Reports only for PDF generation. But it is version 3.7.2, not 4.5.0.
The minimum dependencies are:
- iText
- Apache Commons BeanUtils
- Apache Commons Collections
- Apache Commons Digester
- Apache Commons Logging
