Setup project

[Postremus]

Setup initial project structure and get an initial test running which prints a report (e.g. as pdf).

This is maybe the starting ground for how to set up the dependencies.

Later on also test interaction with quarkus-jaxb.

[Postremus]

jasperreports 6.20.0 seems way better behaved than 6.12:

[Postremus]

xerces and xml-apis are removed since 6.10: TIBCOSoftware/jasperreports@6b206fd

xalan is replaced with jaxen since late last year. TIBCOSoftware/jasperreports#288

[azim92]

Hi, would like to know if this project targeting

jasperreports v6.20.0 - IText dependent

or

jasperreports v6.20.1 - Dropped IText, OpenPDF dependent

[melloware]

Also a heads up you might want to exclude iText from Jasper and use Quarkus iText: https://github.com/quarkiverse/quarkus-itext

I had to do this for the PrimeFaces extension.

@azim92 that is unfrotunate because the OpenPDF variant of iText is a lot harder to get working in native image. They should be swappable though so using Quarkus iText and excluding Open PDF should work.

[melloware]

Another thing for Barcode4J , PrimeFaces uses Barcode4J lite and here were the things I had to do to get it working in Native mode.

1 Register for Reflection: https://github.com/quarkiverse/quarkus-primefaces/blob/2644c60f1a20b4ecaf18b744787def2e3e9bf173/quarkus-primefaces/deployment/src/main/java/io/quarkiverse/primefaces/deployment/PrimefacesProcessor.java#L137-L139

1 Runtime Initialization: https://github.com/quarkiverse/quarkus-primefaces/blob/2644c60f1a20b4ecaf18b744787def2e3e9bf173/quarkus-primefaces/runtime/src/main/java/io/quarkus/primefaces/runtime/PrimeFacesFeature.java#L16-L17

[Postremus]

@azim92 6.20.1

[Postremus]

@melloware Sadly we can not use quarkiverse-itext here.
Jasper 6.20.1 uses an fork of openpdf - TIBCOSoftware/jasperreports#339 (comment).

Regarding barcode4j, yep, that is my plan.

[melloware]

OK ouch OpenPDF has been a huge Pain to get working in Native Image.
