Jasper Reports

I've been tinkering with plugins, and have integrated Jasper Reports into a simple Moneydance plugin, all it does currently is retrieve a list of transactions for a particular account, stuff them into a 'ReportTransaction' plain javabean, pass a collection of these into JasperReports where the report is generated and output to PDF.

However, the reporting possibilities available with using Jasper Reports could be something very useful to many people, providing the 2009 version of Moneydance doesn't blow us away with it's extensive reports ;-)

I'm not likely to continue the development of this past my need for a particular report, but I'm more than willing to share what I've done so that other people can pick it up and run with it.

If anybody's interested in seeing this, then please let me know.

   I would be vey interested in understanding what you have achieved and how. I am looking to export information from MD to a data source that can be used with Jasper & iReport.

   I will document it, and also include a sample app with a simple report
   working.

   However, it could be a few weeks off, as I'm about to go on holiday.

   Life has been throwing me curved balls ... I still intend to document
   what I've done so others can follow it, and extend it, but I'm
   struggling to find the time to do it at the moment.
