#30 Printing defunct after update to Java11
(I guess java upgrade is the culprit, have not investigated further)
I have been using Fribok since when it was the commercial JFS.
Now i upgraded my Linux installation Mageia 7 to Mageia 8.
It can launch as normal. Launching in terminal:
$ cd "/home/morgan/Tribun/Eko/FriBok"
$ JAVA_OPTIONS="-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on" java -jar *.jar
Starting up...

I experienced no problem writing a new invoice.
But when i want to print an invoice, the whole preview dialogue is greyed, and in terminal from where i started the program it say it loads precompiled report, list lots of size parametres etc, and then:
net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException: Errors were encountered when compiling report expressions class file:

Workaround:
Mageia 8 can have both java 8 and 11, and I could set default java version by running
Alternative Workaround:
Use full path to java:
All needed was in my start link just replace java with /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0*/jre/bin/java
Now I could set system default back to java 11
I have similar error running JFS in Windows. So I thought I just add in my work-around here.
My starting point was snapshot 2.1 and 2.2 where neither of them were able to print out "resultatrapport" or "momsrapport".
Working backwards through the java-versions i found out that the combination of
Java 11 and snapshot 2.2 - Are able to print "resultatrapport" but NOT "momsrapport". GUI still looks nice.
Java 8 and snapshot 2.2 - Are able to print "momsrapport", but GUI now look quite bad (all black background).
In order to change the Java-version i created a bat-file with following content (edit REM to control which JAVA-version JFS should use). I learned how the java-version could be controlled here (include download links for Java as well):

For Mageia 9:
FriBok does not work with java default 17 nor latest 18 versions.
__Workaround:
§ Install package java-1.8.0-openjdk
§ Launch FriBok in the folder where you have the fribok.jar file:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8/jre/bin/java -jar fribok*.jar
(In Mageia 8 that line had to be prepended with "JAVAOPTIONS=-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on " for FriBok to more reliably render some windows, but that seem not to be needed now.)
Tested with fribok-2.2-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar , downloaded today, version 242

Another workaround, if you're using Nix / NixOS is to run this command to easily run the jar without problems generating pdfs:
Ett första försök till åtgärd är v2.3-SNAPSHOT rev 243 där rapportgenerering och spara till pdf är testade med jre21.
