What is BIRT
BIRT is an Eclipse-based open source reporting platform based on Java. BIRT has two main components: report designer plug-in for Eclipse runtime engine that we can deploy with our applications.
BIRT has grown in popularity for the past three years and really is on the cutting edge - de facto standard for deploying reports .
We can also implement runtime integration using the Report Engine API which allows us to run BIRT reports directly from Java code. Design-time integration is implemented with a Design Engine API from which we can create or modify BIRT reports.
