Hi Chandresh, Pentaho code is in MPL (Mozilla Public Licence) and Pentaho Reporting (JFreeReport) is in LGPL. As I am not a layer, I don't know if it is compatible with Apache licence. I am far to know the whole Pentaho stuff but it was in my plans to try to integrate it (at least some parts) in OFBiz as a logical choice I guess. As in my previous post, I also need to have a better OFBiz view =)

Hi Credric , If http://www.pentaho.com/index.php is Apache 2.0 , Please feel free to create integration. People might appreciate cross-pollination. Atleast you might want to make a small writeup as to how Pentaho can be integrated with Ofbiz Thanks in advance from the team to you Chand ----- Original Message ----- From: "PRONZATO Cedric RD-BIZZ-GRE" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <dev@ofbiz.apache.org> Sent: Tuesday, February 13, 2007 1:26 AM Subject: RE: How to implement bulk printing of documents? > Hi Jacopo, > > I would told you the following things: > > - use a reporting framework and not something based on fop and xsl which > is realy power consuming not itext directly.
