MyEclipse-Reporting overview.
Report Designer
The Report Designer is a visual report development tool for
adding flexible reporting to applications, eliminating the need to
manually handcode reports, saving time and improving productivity.
The Report Designer gives you true flexibility in
defining a report, by separating data access, business logic and layout
functions. You can also write scripts to extend any of these elements
of report design, giving you even more power to meet reporting
requirements. In addition, the ability to reuse components across
reports makes report maintenance easy.
Drag and Drop development
Multiple wizards ease complex report design
Advanced and detailed property pages allow you to easily modify
existing report components
Multiple visual report components including images, charts and tables
Reuse virtually all reporting components with report libraries
Preview your reports from the comfort of the IDE, without having to
deploy your application
Scripts can be used to fine tune reports or perform advanced tasks
The MyEclipse Report Design perspective is optimized for report design tasks
Data Source Management
A data source
is an object that contains connection parameters.
MyEclipse supports the use of the
MyEclipse JDBC data source which is closely coupled with a
corresponding MyEclipse JDBC driver.
Data sources validated and kept in synch with your drivers
Application Deployment
Report projects can be deployed on over 20 different application
servers using MyEclipse's deployer technology.
Hotsynch deployment support
where available
