Answer 1

For anyone having similar issues when using the JasperReports 5.x maven dependencies:

The jasper guys run a public maven repository where they publish bug fixes to their third party dependencies. These fixed versions are not always present in the public maven repo. So when you have problems with dependencies try to add the repository http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/maven2.

Answer 2

For me, the solution was adding

      <dependency>
      <groupId>com.lowagie</groupId>
      <artifactId>itext</artifactId>
      <version>2.1.7</version>
      </dependency>

This way it was not looking for the .js2 version and could resolve the dependency.
