0031889: some reports are not exported using JDK 8

Description

When Openbravo is deployed using JDK 8, some reports cannot be exported.

Note this only happens for some reports.

Steps To Reproduce

* Using JDK 8
* Go to Trial Balance Report
* Try to export to PDF
  - PDF is not exported
  - Looking at log, this stack trace can be seen:

Proposed Solution

The problem looks to be caused by the ecj (Eclipse JDT compiler) that jasper uses. Current version included in Openbravo 3.1.1 seems not to work with JDK 8.

Quick test upgrading to currently latest 4.4.2 [1] seems to solve the problem, though intensive testing should be done.

This compiler is used to compile jrxml -> jasper. Using JDK 8 with the previous library version caused an error when exporting some reports. With this upgrade reports are exported correctly using JDK 8. --- M legal/Licensing.txt A lib/runtime/jdt-compiler-4.4.2.jar R legal/CPL-1.0.txt R lib/runtime/jdt-compiler-3.1.1.jar ---
