Jaspersoft ships iReport plug-in, the NetBeans community's most popular download, and new upgrade of 'Jasper for MySQL' SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 13
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Jaspersoft Corporation, the market
leader in open source business intelligence (BI), today announced the
full-production availability of Jaspersoft's iReport for NetBeans Integrated
Development Environment (IDE), which has been certified for NetBeans 6.0 and
6.1, and also supports the new beta version 6.5 announced today
(http://www.netbeans.org/community/releases/65/).
In addition, Jaspersoft announced that Jasper for MySQL(TM), the MySQL OEM
edition of the Jaspersoft Business Intelligence Suite, has been upgraded to
version 3 (v3). Together these optimized solutions deliver the most advanced
business intelligence development platform for Sun's leading open source
products.
iReport is the graphical report and dashboard design tool for
JasperReports, the world's most popular open source reporting product and the
Duke's Choice Award winner at last year's JavaOne conference. iReport has
been available in Beta since December as a native NetBeans plug-in, during
which time it rapidly became the most downloaded plug-in by this community of
600,000 developers from more than 130 countries. iReport developers deploy
their reports with JasperServer, which includes a secure repository,
dashboards, scheduling and ad hoc reporting. iReport and JasperServer are
included in Jasper for MySQL.
Jasper for MySQL is the optimized version of the Jaspersoft Business
Intelligence Suite that Sun's database group has licensed for its OEM
business. The new Jasper for MySQL v3 incorporates all of the new features
and functions in Jaspersoft v3, which was announced earlier this summer
(http://www.jaspersoft.com/nw_press_jaspersoft_jbis_v3.html) and is
specifically certified and packaged for Sun's MySQL database.
"With iReport, Jaspersoft delivers a superior open source business
intelligence solution, which compliments NetBeans' core strengths in enabling
web and desktop applications," said Jim Parkinson, vice president of developer
tools and services, Sun Microsystems, Inc. "We're pleased at the value that
Jaspersoft finds as a NetBeans Strategic Partner and we're excited about the
innovations they bring to the community."
"NetBeans provides the vehicle through which much of the Java community
collaborates in creating web-tier applications," said Jose Morales, vice
president of business development, Jaspersoft. "Our relationships with
NetBeans and MySQL are natural given the reporting requirements of these
communities, our mutual strategy for serving web-tier application development,
and the maturity of the Jaspersoft suite."
As Sun is a strategic partner, Jaspersoft also supports Sun's portfolio of
other software products and platforms, beyond NetBeans, Java, and MySQL,
including: Solaris and OpenSolaris 64-bit operating systems, GlassFish
application server, CAPS and OpenESB middleware, and the Sun Identity
Management application. Jaspersoft also partners with Sun's data warehouse
partners including MySQL data storage engine providers Kickfire and
InfoBright, as well as Paraccel and GreenPlum.
