JasperAssistant (http://www.jasperassistant.com) is a visual report
designer for JasperReports, a popular open-source reporting engine. It
is built on top of the Eclipse's plug-in architecture and its main goal
is to help you create JasperReports report definition files through an
intuitive graphical interface.

What's new:

* Eclipse console view support. The output produced by scriptlets and
utility classes during report execution is redirected to this view so
that the output can be used for debug purposes. (Eclipse 3)
* Support for Asian PDF fonts and encodings: Chinese Simplified,
Chinese Traditional, Japanese, Korean.
* Several other minor bugfixes and enhancements.

Main benefits of JasperAssistant:

and avoid the need for XML editing of JasperReports templates.

JasperReports up to the latest version.

* Efficiently locate and correct report problems using precise error
indications.

connection, an XML document, JavaBeans array or a custom data source.
