In addition to an eclipse based application, an embded version will be available. This will allow tight integration with any application based upon the eclipse plug-in architecture.
Who cares?
Anyone who wants to place powerful reporting contol into the hands of a specific class of end users:
- Physicians
- Archiects
- Building Contractors
- Project Managers
- etc.
Will Crystal Reports for Eclipse support reports based upon POJOs (Plain Old Java Objects) or just relational tables? The answer is probably no. For that BIRT or Jasper Reports is probably required.
Therefore, although Crystal Reports will probably be less powerful than BIRT or Jasper in terms of data it can report on, but it's raw reporting power is impressive and -- often more important -- its tools are familiar to a wide range of power users and desktop level developers.
