The Paste option is always greyed out.
Steps to reproduce here are easy:
- Start a new report or open an existing one
- Add a field or element into any of the bands
- Edit -> Copy (or Right-click -> Copy)
Apparently, there is an exception being thrown, listed below. Every time I click copy, the NoClassDef exception repeats.

A brief research pointed me towards the argument --add-opens to the java runtime. The bat file has this already in, but apparently only for Java 11. For tests, I added the following lines to make sure they are executed
set JAVA_ADD_OPENS=--add-opens java.base/java.net=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens java.base/sun.net.www.protocol.jar=ALL-UNNAMED
set JAVA_LOCALE_COMPAT=-Djava.locale.providers=COMPAT,SPI
This unfortunately did not have any effect whatsoever.
I'm using Windows 10 22H2 and Pentaho Report Designer 9.4.0.0.-343 (although I tried on 9.3 and had the same issue)
Any idea what can be done to further troubleshoot the issue?
Pentaho 9.4 works with Oracle or OpenJDK 11: https://docs.hitachivantara.com/r/en-us/pentaho-data-integration-and-analytics/9.4.x/mk-95pdia000/components-reference/java-virtual-machine
I fixed it by setting environment variable PENTAHO_JAVA_HOME to Oracle JDK java 11 home path.
