Standard Method TEXT is undefined when compiling jasper report

When I package my stand-alone-java-application, that compiles, renders and prints Jasper-Reports, in a fat jar with all dependencies, I get the error that the function TEXT – a function used in the report and defined in the net.sf.jasperreports-functions-library is not found.
The method TEXT(Integer, String) is undefined for the type [...]
value = IF(LEN(TEXT(((java.lang.Integer)parameter_X.getValue()),"#"))==2,"***",REPT("*",6-LEN(TEXT(((java.lang.Integer)parameter_X.getValue()),"#")))) //$JR_EXPR_ID=58$
Other functions from the same library work. When I run the application with gradle run, the function is found and the report can be printed. The library is on my classpath.
There are several similar questions on this site and Stackoverflow, but neither provided answers, that worked for me. In the following, I will explain what I tried:
In my build.gradle-File I defined dependencies to the following libraries:
implementation('net.sf.jasperreports:jasperreports:6.18.1')
implementation('net.sf.jasperreports:jasperreports-functions:6.18.1')
In my java-Files, I created a DesignFile and statically imported the functions into it. I tried two methods:
Method 1 as given in an answer in this thread: Unresolved symbols when compiling jasper report
/*…*/
designFile = JRXmlLoader.load(sourceFile.getAbsolutePath());
designFile.addImport("static net.sf.jasperreports.functions.standard.TextFunctions.*");
designFile.addImport("static net.sf.jasperreports.functions.standard.MathFunctions.*");
designFile.addImport("static net.sf.jasperreports.functions.standard.DateTimeFunctions.*");
designFile.addImport("static net.sf.jasperreports.functions.standard.LogicalFunctions.*");
JasperReport compiledReport = JasperCompileManager.getInstance(ctx).compile(designFile);
/*…*/
Method 2: importing each function on its own
public static String[] textFunctions(){
return new String[]{"BASE", "CHAR", "CLEAN", "CODE", "CONCATENATE", "DOUBLE_VALUE",
"EXACT", "FIND", /*"FIXED", */"FLOAT_VALUE", "INTEGER_VALUE", "LEFT", "LEN", "LONG_VALUE",
"LOWER", "LTRIM", "MID", "PROPER", "REPLACE", "REPT", "RIGHT", "RTRIM", "SEARCH", "SUBSTITUTE",
"T", /*"TEXT",*/ "TRIM", "UPPER"};
}}
/*…*/
designFile = JRXmlLoader.load(sourceFile.getAbsolutePath());
for (String textFunction : textFunctions()){
designFile.addImport("static net.sf.jasperreports.functions.standard.TextFunctions." + textFunction);
}/* similarly for logical functions, numeric functions and datetime functions*/
}
JasperReport compiledReport = JasperCompileManager.getInstance(ctx).compile(designFile);
/*…*/
As you can see, the function TEXT is commented out. That’s because the program fails at runtime when run with “gradle run”, when I comment it in:
net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException: Errors were encountered when compiling report expressions class file:
1. The import net.sf.jasperreports.functions.standard.TextFunctions.TEXT cannot be resolved
import static net.sf.jasperreports.functions.standard.TextFunctions.TEXT;
The same thing is true with most datetime-functions, in fact, only TIME can be imported to the DesignObject without error at runtime
In addition to that, when I type net.sf.jasperreports.functions.standard.TextFunctions. in my IDE, the content-assist shows a list of available functions, yet TEXT is missing.
I suspected, that the function is simply missing in the library, but it is there. In the .gradle/cache/modules-2/files-2.1/… directory, there is the jar with the TextFunctions.java, that contains the function TEXT:
When building the FatJar with dependencies, I have a TextFunctions.class-File in it, that contains the TEXT-Function as well.
In my jar, there are two jasperreports_extension.properties on the root level:
with the smaller one (from the jasperreport-functions-dependency) containing the following lines:
net.sf.jasperreports.extension.registry.factory.functions=net.sf.jasperreports.functions.FunctionsRegistryFactory
net.sf.jasperreports.extension.functions.datetime=net.sf.jasperreports.functions.standard.DateTimeFunctions
net.sf.jasperreports.extension.functions.math=net.sf.jasperreports.functions.standard.MathFunctions, net.sf.jasperreports.functions.standard.LogicalFunctions
net.sf.jasperreports.extension.functions.text=net.sf.jasperreports.functions.standard.TextFunctions
net.sf.jasperreports.extension.functions.report=net.sf.jasperreports.functions.standard.ReportFunctions
Funnily enough, commenting out TEXT, running it locally with gradle run, it works without problems. But packaging it and running it with java -jar it fails to find this function. And statically importing this function leads to gradle run failing as well.
What is happening and how can I fix this? I want to distribute my FatJar on a server and run it, but this problems makes it impossible for me.

apache PIG with datafu: Cannot resolve UDF's

I'm trying the quickstart from here: http://datafu.incubator.apache.org/docs/datafu/getting-started.html
I tried nearly everything, but I'm sure it must be my fault somewhere. I tried already:
exporting PIG_HOME, CLASSPATH, PIG_CLASSPATH
starting pig with -cpdatafu-pig-incubating-1.3.0.jar
registering datafu-pig-incubating-1.3.0.jar locally and in hdfs => both succesful (at least no error shown)
nothing helped
Trying this on pig:
register datafu-pig-incubating-1.3.0.jar
DEFINE Median datafu.pig.stats.StreamingMedian();
data = load '/user/hduser/numbers.txt' using PigStorage() as (val:int);
data2 = FOREACH (GROUP data ALL) GENERATE Median(data);
or directly
data2 = FOREACH (GROUP data ALL) GENERATE datafu.pig.stats.StreamingMedian(data);
I get this name-resolve error:
2016-06-04 17:22:22,734 [main] ERROR org.apache.pig.tools.grunt.Grunt
- ERROR 1070: Could not resolve datafu.pig.stats.StreamingMedian using imports: [, java.lang., org.apache.pig.builtin.,
org.apache.pig.impl.builtin.] Details at logfile:
/home/hadoop/pig_1465053680252.log
When I look into the datafu-pig-incubating-1.3.0.jar it looks OK, everything in place. I also tried some Bag functions, same error then.
I think it's kind of a noob-error which I just don't see (as I did not find particular answers for datafu in SO or google), so thanks in advance for shedding some light on this.

Pig script is proper, the only thing that could break is that while registering datafu there were some class dependencies that coudn't been met.
Try to run locally (pig -x local) and see a detailed log.
Check also the version of pig - it should be newer than 0.14.0.

synonyms() error in wordnet

I want to use synonyms () described in 'Intro to the tm package' for R. It uses the wordnet package. The wordnet package downloaded from CRAN does not have Dict (dictionary) in its directory. I downloaded it from the Princeton site and copied it over to the directory. After using sys.setenv() and setDict() for setting paths, I still get this error:
Error in sort(unique(unlist(lapply(synsets, getWord))))
error in evaluating the argument 'x' in selecting a method for function 'sort': Error in unique(unlist(lapply(synsets, getWord))) :
error in evaluating the argument 'x' in selecting a method for function 'unique': Error in .jcall(synset, "Ljava/util/List;", "getWord") :
java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "t"
when I try synonyms("company", pos = "NOUN") or another English word in place of 'company'. The problem is in getSynonyms() called from synonyms(). Any idea on how to fix this problem?
Different combinations lead to different input string NumberFormatException. My Java is version 1.8. I tried all the online resources. I added two paths to PATH for R's bin and RJava's jri. Discussion on the exception indicates it is a string to numeric conversion issue. I have made sure that Java to R linkage (via rJava) works (URL: https://www.rforge.net/rJava/ ).

Run an ABCL code that uses cl-cppre

With reference to my previous question,
Executing a lisp function from Java
I was able to call lisp code from Java using ABCL.
But the problem is, the already existing lisp code uses CL-PPCRE package.
I can not compile the code as it says 'CL-PPCRE not found'.
I have tried different approaches to add that package,
including
1) how does one compile a clisp program which uses cl-ppcre?
2)https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/cl-ppcre/juSfOhEDa1k
Doesnot work!
Other thing is, that executing (compile-file aima.asd) works perfectly fine although it does also require cl-pprce
(defpackage #:aima-asd
(:use :cl :asdf))
(in-package :aima-asd)
(defsystem aima
:name "aima"
:version "0.1"
:components ((:file "defpackage")
(:file "main" :depends-on ("defpackage")))
:depends-on (:cl-ppcre))
The final java code is
interpreter.eval("(load \"aima/asdf.lisp\")");
interpreter.eval("(compile-file \"aima/aima.asd\")");
interpreter.eval("(compile-file \"aima/defpackage.lisp\")");
interpreter.eval("(in-package :aima)");
interpreter.eval("(load \"aima/aima.lisp\")");
interpreter.eval("(aima-load 'all)");
The error message is
Error loading C:/Users/Administrator.NUIG-1Z7HN12/workspace/aima/probability/domains/edit-nets.lisp at line 376 (offset 16389)
#<THREAD "main" {3A188AF2}>: Debugger invoked on condition of type READER-ERROR
The package "CL-PPCRE" can't be found.
[1] AIMA(1):
Can anyone help me?

You need to load cl-ppcre before you can use it. You can do that by using (asdf:load-system :aima), provided that you put both aima and cl-ppcre into locations that your ASDF searches.

I used QuickLisp to add cl-ppcre (because nothing else worked for me).
Here is what I did
(load \"~/QuickLisp.lisp\")")
(quicklisp-quickstart:install)
(load "~/quicklisp/setup.lisp")
(ql:quickload :cl-ppcre)
First 2 lines are only a one time things. Once quickLisp is installed you can start from line 3.

JavaImp plugin not able to parse Java files

I have been using the JavaImp.vim script for auto importing Java statements in VIM
But trying out different directories in the JavaImpPaths, I am still unable to make JavaImp parse the Java files in the source to make auto imports possible
this is how my .vimrc looks like
let g:JavaImpPaths = "~/Documents/android-sdks/sources/android-21/android/content/"
let g:JavaImpClassList = "~/.vim/JavaImp/JavaImp.txt"
let g:JavaImpJarCache = "~/.vim/JavaImp/cache/"
This is what I get running JIG in new Vim window
:JIG
Do you want to create the directory ~/.vim/JavaImp/cache/?
