------------------------------------
====== a request to make a branch in SVN, for community input=============
The originator of this Jira issue is now working here with me. I had a look at
this change and it looks pretty interesting but involved. At the moment we
should look at it as a proof of concept which need the opinion of the community.
It is adding a new option in webtools called 'birt'. In there you can run
reports which are created inside Birt in Eclipse. The reports are shown paged,
in pdf and can be sent by email.
some points for discussion:
1. we can add the Birt report engine to ofbiz the license is the Eclipse
license so compatible
2. It will add a lot of jar files, some of which we already have.(needs cleanup)
3. The originator added the function of using jsp tags within ftl....a lot of
work to change it in ftl only.
4. Currently ofbiz and birt needs to be on the same computer, an import
function needs to be added or the reports will be added as seed data.
5. only one report can be shown, need to add a report selector with a related
entity.
Because this whole contribution is not clean yet but is rather difficult to
install I would like to propose to create a branch for it.
So what does the community think? If no objection i will create the branch in a
couple of days.

Hans
