Commandline Jasper Compiler

Simple tool able to compile AbraFlexi custom reports into given destination

Features:

• JasperReports 6.21.3 compilation engine
• Automatic AbraFlexi/FlexiBee library detection and loading
• Java 11 compatibility
• Cross-platform support (Linux/Windows)
• Dynamic classpath manipulation for AbraFlexi integration

jaspercompiler is used in AbraFlexi-Report-Tools by its report uploader upreport

Usage

call it like this:

    jaspercompiler /path/to/report.jrxml

to build /path/to/report.jasper

also you can specify another destination (directory or filepath) as second parameter.

Requirements

• Java 11 or higher
• AbraFlexi/FlexiBee installation (for library dependencies)

Pinned JasperReports version (security note)

pom.xml intentionally pins net.sf.jasperreports:jasperreports to 6.21.3. This is a deliberate compatibility constraint, not an oversight or stale dependency.

Per the AbraFlexi/FlexiBee support documentation on user reports, custom user reports must be compiled against exactly version 6.21.3 — newer JasperReports releases are not guaranteed compatible with AbraFlexi's report templates and integration.

This version is affected by GHSA-9wxq-mwqw-8hhg, a high-severity Java deserialization vulnerability leading to remote code execution, fixed upstream in 7.0.7. Do not bump this dependency to silence the security alert without first confirming AbraFlexi/FlexiBee has certified compatibility with a newer JasperReports release — doing so risks breaking report compilation for all users of this tool.
