| BIRT is an open source, Eclipse-based reporting system that integrates |
| with your application to produce compelling reports for both web |
| and PDF. |
| <p> |
| BIRT provides core reporting features such as report layout, |
| data access and scripting. The current released version is 2.0. Please try BIRT and |
| tell us what you think by filling bugs reports & enhancement requests |
| through Bugzilla as explained on the <a href="community.html">community</a> |
| page. |
