It was a short journey with BIRT. The first impression was good back then. But thats what it was: a first impression. We now deployed a project which uses BIRT and two things are so annoying that i decided to quit on BIRT:

1) Memory consumption is a big time issue most likely thanks to the underlying OSGi runtime.

2) Lib dependencies is another brainer. There is no POM for BIRT and if you include all the libs they bundle in the distro. You have about 45 Megs or something extra JARs. Needless to say that its not that easy to see what of these are not needed in your special selection of features. There are no proper docs on that.

So anyone interessted in some BIRT books from Eclipse Press / A.W. :-) But BIRT is not, it just doesnt work out well if you are developing j2ee apps which do not run on top of OSGi.

After some research i finally decided to go with Jasper. Should have chosen it in the first place of course....
