SAP Crystal Reports for Eclipse
SAP Crystal Reports for Eclipse is a set of free plug-ins provided by SAP Business Objects, the makers of SAP Crystal Reports. SAP Crystal Reports for Eclipse provides Eclipse developers with an embedded report designer as well as a number of development tools to assist the developer with building applications. With SAP Crystal Reports for Eclipse developers can:
- Easily connect to a variety of JDBC data sources
- Quickly format data with the intuitive
visual designer built for the Eclipse framework
- Minimize the repetitive nature of
embedding dynamic, formatted data into JSP pages
- Reduce application maintenance by
separating data connectivity and presentation from core application code
- Effortlessly export reports to standard
formats such as PDF, CSV, Editable RTF, and Excel (Data Only).
- New Report Designer built on the
Eclipse Framework, built from the ground up using Business Objects' award
winning Java Reporting Component (JRC) engine.
- Drag & Drop Report Design - easily
add report objects to your report. Adding and removing database fields
causes the required SQL statement to be dynamically generated.
- Crystal Reports Project Wizards - this
feature enables developers to create projects which include all of the
required Crystal Reports runtime configurations.
- JSP Page Wizard - creates custom code
to do common tasks (e.g. pass in DB logon, change parameter values, change
data source location, etc.) just by dragging a report onto a JSP page.
- Deployment Assistance wizard - analyzes
a report project prior to deployment to ensure that all of the required
runtime libraries (e.g. database JAR files) are present.
