What you need for this book

To use this book, you will of course need JasperReports. This is freely downloadable from http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/jasperreports.

JasperReports has its own requirements for proper and successful functioning: Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.4 or newer (http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp), a recent version of ANT (http://ant.apache.org/), and iReport (to visually design reports) (http://jasperforge.org/plugins/project/project_home.php?projectname=ireport). Any operating system supporting Java can be used (any modern version of Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, or Solaris).
