Can't generate PDF report with JasperReports

this error is blowing my mind away, so any help is appreciated. So the thing is, I'm dealing with a web application using JSF where there's a need to generate a report so that the user can download it. BUT, whenever I try to generate the report, I get this stack trace:

The error seems to be pretty straightfoward. Looks like this class class net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util.JRStyledTextParser is missing, but it actually is in my classpath. I just can't find a way to make this work! I'm using maven as a dependecy manager, so here are my dependencies:

So based on your pom, you are using version 5.0.0 of Jasper Reports. Based on this version of the class in question, the static block that is causing this error doesn't log or print any errors that may have been thrown during static initialization.

You have two options:

  1. Look at the source I linked and see if you can determine what might be throwing an exception in that static initialization block, fix it, then proceed
  2. Upgrade your jasper reports version to at least 6.3.0. As of this version of the class in question, they have at least started printing the stack trace of the underlying issue. This ought to give you a better idea of what the actual error is.
