Bringing new BI capabilities to Eclipse Java developers, Jaspersoft Studio provides a complete open source platform that allows Eclipse Java developers to build, secure, and share BI reports for free, said a press release.

Eclipse represents one the largest and most important Java communities touting an average of one million downloads per month. Jaspersoft provides Eclipse developers with more BI capabilities when compared with the reporting tools currently available for Eclipse.

Guilio Toffoli, founder and lead architect of iReport at Jaspersoft said, "With the provided Eclipse reporting tools, developers can get started with report design fairly quickly, but the runway of what they can do is short. Jaspersoft Studio is designed to create a richer BI experience for the Eclipse community."

Jaspersoft Studio delivers a true open source platform for report building, sharing, and managing without requiring developers to purchase commercial software. Users can design and distribute reports accessing any data source including relational databases, "big data" and NoSQL databases, or flat files.

Now, when a developer wants to deploy or secure a BI report, they can do it with our server without requiring a costly commercial license, added Toffoli.

According to the release, Jaspersoft Studio surpasses the current reporting tool capabilities available to the Eclipse community, allowing developers to build reports in Jaspersoft Studio and share them among teams or with their organization using the open source JasperReports Server project.
