Jasper Report is a popular open source report writer, which is superior to Compiere's built-in report writer in many aspects. In addition, the number of developers worldwide is considerable more than that its counter part.

Comparing to other JasperReports integration approaches such as compierejaper.sourceforge.net, We define JasperReports as a type of Compiere Report instead of a Compiere Process.

In addition, our approach enables printing reports directly to printers without previewing the reports.

Finally, we continues to support Compiere developers to utilize java classes and stored procedures to produce initial report data.
