title: Why was Jasper support dropped out from Spring Framework 5.x?
body: <p>We have been using Jasper with Spring Boot for our project's reporting feature but according to the <a href="https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/wiki/What%27s-New-in-Spring-Framework-5.x" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Spring Framework 5.x release documentation</a> Jasper support has been dropped out. </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>May I know why this has been done? </li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>They have recommended to stay on Spring Framework 4.3.x in case we need Jasper support. </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>What if we want to upgrade to Spring Framework 5.x and still use Jasper, is there any alternative for doing so ?</li>
  </ul>
