| Initially, the JasperReports library didn't have any complex GUI tools available to simplify the report design work. User had to manually edit their XML files probably using a simple editor and previewing them with the build-in report design viewer. |
|
| But now, the expanding community created around the library has come up with various solutions that satisfy this increasing need for rapid report design creation and deployment. |
