Step 1. Add the JitPack repository to your build file

Add it in your root settings.gradle at the end of repositories:

	dependencyResolutionManagement {
		repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
		repositories {
			mavenCentral()
			maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
		}
	}

Add it in your settings.gradle.kts at the end of repositories:

	dependencyResolutionManagement {
		repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
		repositories {
			mavenCentral()
			maven { url = uri("https://jitpack.io") }
		}
	}

Add to pom.xml

	<repositories>
		<repository>
		    <id>jitpack.io</id>
		    <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
		</repository>
	</repositories>

Add it in your build.sbt at the end of resolvers:

 
    resolvers += "jitpack" at "https://jitpack.io"

Add it in your project.clj at the end of repositories:

 
    :repositories [["jitpack" "https://jitpack.io"]]

Step 2. Add the dependency

	dependencies {
		implementation 'com.github.andre-campos:Jasper-report-maven-plugin:2.3.3-snapshot'
	}

	dependencies {
		implementation("com.github.andre-campos:Jasper-report-maven-plugin:2.3.3-snapshot")
	}

	<dependency>
	    <groupId>com.github.andre-campos</groupId>
	    <artifactId>Jasper-report-maven-plugin</artifactId>
	    <version>2.3.3-snapshot</version>
	</dependency>


                            
    libraryDependencies += "com.github.andre-campos" % "Jasper-report-maven-plugin" % "2.3.3-snapshot"


                            
    :dependencies [[com.github.andre-campos/Jasper-report-maven-plugin "2.3.3-snapshot"]]

Readme

JasperReports-plugin

This maven compiles Jasper files to the target directory.

Motivation

The original jasperreports-maven-plugin from org.codehaus.mojo was a bit slow. This plugin is 10x faster. I tested it with 52 reports which took 48 seconds with the original plugin and only 4.7 seconds with this plugin.

Usage

You can use the plugin by adding it to the plug-in section in your pom;

<build>
	<plugins>
		<plugin>
			<groupId>com.alexnederlof</groupId>
			<artifactId>jasperreports-plugin</artifactId>
			<version>2.0</version>
			<executions>
				<execution>
					<phase>process-sources</phase>
	   				<goals>
	      					<goal>jasper</goal>
	   				</goals>
	   			</execution>
			</executions>
			<configuration>
				<!-- These are the default configurations: -->
				<compiler>net.sf.jasperreports.engine.design.JRJdtCompiler</compiler>
				<sourceDirectory>src/main/jasperreports</sourceDirectory>
				<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/jasper</outputDirectory>
				<outputFileExt>.jasper</outputFileExt>
				<xmlValidation>true</xmlValidation>
				<verbose>false</verbose>
				<numberOfThreads>4</numberOfThreads>
				<failOnMissingSourceDirectory>true</failOnMissingSourceDirectory>
				<sourceScanner>org.codehaus.plexus.compiler.util.scan.StaleSourceScanner</sourceScanner>
			</configuration>
		</plugin>
	</plugins>
</build>

If you want to pass any Jasper options to the compiler you can do so by adding them to the configuration like so:

<plugin>
	...
	<configuration>
		...
		<additionalProperties>
			<net.sf.jasperreports.awt.ignore.missing.font>true</net.sf.jasperreports.awt.ignore.missing.font>
			<net.sf.jasperreports.default.pdf.font.name>Courier</net.sf.jasperreports.default.pdf.font.name>
			<net.sf.jasperreports.default.pdf.encoding>UTF-8</net.sf.jasperreports.default.pdf.encoding>
			<net.sf.jasperreports.default.pdf.embedded>true</net.sf.jasperreports.default.pdf.embedded>
           </additionalProperties>
	</configuration>
</plugin>

You can also add extra elements to the classpath using

<plugin>
	...
	<configuration>
		...
		<classpathElements>
			<element>your.classpath.element</element>
        </classpathElements>
	</configuration>
</plugin>
