JasperPal

Hi, HSChin

I desperatly looking forward to the next release,
Out of all the GUI's for generating reports I have played with your's is the ONLY one that can be intergrated into a swing app, which is cool because I'm creating a business accounts type program (that also interfaces with a shopping cart system I wrote in php & mysql) anyway my swing app uses jDesktop and JasperPal works a treat....

Anyway enough of the babble...
Features
1, A print preview type thing with the editor
basicly a button that when u click on it to view the new or modified xml file it prompts to save, creates a .bak file (if needed) and then opens up a new interface with a preview panel, this would then have the following buttons (maybe more, maybe less) :--
scroll between pages
zoom in and out
print to printer
export to pdf ( could be a list of what it can export too)

2, Database tables linker / sql generater
the best example rather than my typing it out is http://datavision.sourceforge.net/index.html has a wicked sql type generater based on tables linked together, although i can write sql, im thinking of the stupid people who will use my app and your app ( you know what i mean), that have no undersatnding of sql

3, A way to pass the database connection info to jpal, on intial startup, basicly my app has the dbase settings defined, so it could just be a case of a string[][] type thing with dbaseurl, dbaseport, dbasename, dbaseuser, dbasepass passing it ??

anyway thats all i can think of at the moment

hope this helps,
if you need any sort of help, i would be happy to though im no way near as conversant with java as your are, or as i would like, but I am happy to test, maybe sit down and write a full manual

good luck

Steve
