Taher,
I agree with you. My choice was qualified by "If BIRT is to be removed from the
trunk..." which seems to be the way the community is heading.
I would rather see BIRT as the preferred reporting solution for the reasons you
point out. BIRT reports are superior to FOP reports and I offer attachments of
two similar reports form r 1003469 as an example. A print out of the BIRT
report AcctgTransEntriesSearchResultsInvoiceAndPaymentPdf.pdf) is readable
centered on the page while the FOP report
(AcctgTransEntriesSearchResultsPdf.pdf) font is too small and left side of the
report is outside the print area.
But no one is supporting BIRT so...

> Following are results of testing BIRT across four revisions in an effort to
> identity where BIRT reports work and where they do not.
> Four critical revisions were identified:
> 1. r1003469 introduced BIRT reports in accounting which no longer work.
> 2. r1293999 upgraded the BIRT version after which some reports no longer
> worked
> 3. r1361130 moved BIRT from framework to specialpurpose breaking other reports
> 4. r1407740 is the current release for compairson
> In the current release the BIRT ofbiz-component.xml was altered to mount BIRT
> reports and the BIRT Examples (which are no longer in the Example ment) were
> invoked manually (https://localhost:8443/birt/control/main).
