Pentaho Adds jFreeReport to its Open Source BI Platform

Pentaho, a leading open source BI provider, this morning announced the addition of a key open source component to their platform: jFreeReport, a free Java report library that enables users and developers to quickly create reports from their desktops and output them to PDF, HTML, text, or Excel spreadsheet formats.

Incorporation of jFreeReport is Pentaho's latest move to build a next-generation BI platform that provides an unequivocal technical win for their clients--and to build it from open source projects, to offer all the advantages that open source software can provide.

Thomas Morgner, jFreeReport project leader, is joining Pentaho as Chief Architect of Reporting Solutions; jFreeReport will henceforth be known as "Pentaho Reporting".

jFreeReport was originally hosted at jFree.org, home to a number of related open source projects such as jFreeChart, a Java chart library and jCommon, a general purpose Java class library, used in jFree projects. Object Refinery, Ltd. sponsors jFree.org and related projects.
