A project I work on is using RReport
(http://www.java4less.com/print_java_e.htm) which is cheap. I'm not very
familiar with it or other reporting software, so I don't know how it compares
to Crystal Reports and the others you mentioned. (If anyone knows a Java
based report package that they like better than RReport, I would like to hear
about it)
