JasperAssistant User Guide

JasperAssistant is a Eclipse plugin which support design JasperReport report in Eclipse.

JasperReport is a really powerful open source report lib. It integrates with JFreeChar and other related tools.

Actually there's another powerful report design tool called ireport, but I really like to integrate everything into Eclipse because I don't want to change to another editor or GUI tool.
