Why do I get Exception java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError org/codehaus/groovy/? [duplicate]

Question

I've just try Jasper Report, I'm following tutorial from this site

Also I downloaded the sample source then run it and got no error. But when I create my own report using iReport, compile it, and add the .jasper file to my project. There is exception when I run my program:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/codehaus/groovy/runtime/callsite/CallSiteArray

Here my button action for displaying the report (this is just sample, the report just contain one text with parameter: outputText):

Map params = new HashMap();
params.put("outputText", "Hello world");
try {
        JasperPrint printer = JasperFillManager.fillReport(getClass().getResourceAsStream("report2.jasper"), params, new JREmptyDataSource());
        JasperViewer jv = new JasperViewer(printer);
        jv.show();
    } catch (JRException ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }

If it's dependency problem, I've imported all the required jar to my project, when I use .jasper file from that tutorial there is no problem, is it because of the different version of iReport or else?

Answer 1

Alternatively, you can change the .jrxml file, look for

language="groovy"

and change it to

language="java"

Answer 2

It may be because of a version mismatch. If you want to know which version of Groovy you need, you can just look at a Maven Repository for Jasper:

http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/net.sf.jasperreports/jasperreports/4.6.0

From here you can see that you require Groovy 1.7.5 for Jasper 4.6.0

Answer 3

You need additional Jar package using CallSiteArray class.
