Custom-built iText version required by JasperReports library?
问题 I tried to add jasper reports library ( net.sf.jasperreports:jasperreports:5.2.0 ) as a maven dependency to my project , unfortunately one of it's dependencies com.lowagie:itext:2.1.7.js2 is a little bit untypical and cannot be located in maven central. I've found, however, that it's available at http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/maven2/com/lowagie/itext/ . My questions are: What is the purpose of jaspersoft custom-build of iText? Patches? Is it safe to use regular iText library, version 2
