In my case, these two deps really worked.

<dependency>
  <groupId>net.sf.jasperreports</groupId>
  <artifactId>jasperreports-jdt</artifactId>
  <version>7.0.1</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.eclipse.jdt</groupId>
  <artifactId>ecj</artifactId>
  <version>3.41.0</version>
</dependency>
