After update of pom to JasperReports-6.7.0 JasperStarter shows different version number for JasperReports - comming from the jar file:
I confirmed the following:
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF say 6.6.0
META-INF/maven/net.sf.jasperreports/jasperreports/pom.* say 6.7.0
So I initially suspected this to be a packing issue at source. But I just noticed the pom.xml says:
<scm>
<connection>scm:git:https://github.com/TIBCOSoftware/jasperreports.git</connection>
<tag>jr-6-6-0</tag>
<url>https://github.com/TIBCOSoftware/jasperreports</url>
</scm>
I filed a bug 11286 to track this upstream.
Upstream has confirmed this is a packaging-ony issue, previously reported and discussed on the github tracker here. It is clear that the JARs are 6.7.0 content with incorrect metadata, so I believe this issue can be resolved.
