The world-wide developer community has downloaded over three million
copies of BIRT (Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools) from the
Eclipse web site. Built on the open-source Eclipse platform, BIRT is a
powerful reporting system that provides an end-to-end solution, from
creating and deploying reports to integrating report capabilities in
enterprise applications. The second of a two-book series on business
intelligence and reporting technology, Integrating and Extending BIRT,
Second Edition introduces programmers to BIRT architecture and the
reporting framework. BIRT technology makes it possible for a programmer
to build a customized report using scripting and BIRT APIs. A programmer
can also extend the BIRT framework by creating a new plug-in using the
Eclipse Plug-in Development Environment. This book provides extensive
examples on how to build plug-ins to extend the features of the BIRT
framework. The source code for these examples is available for download.
