JasperReports UI Menu is a UI element that allows more complex reporting requirements through integration with JasperReports. By using JasperReports report definitions, sophisticated reports with custom layouts and graphs can be generated and viewed directly within a UI, with optional export to PDF and Excel. JasperReports is one of the most popular open-source reporting engines. It is written in Java to be cross-platform, and it is able to use data coming from any kind of data source and produce pixel-perfect documents that can be viewed, printed or exported in a variety of document formats including HTML, PDF, Excel, OpenOffice and Word. |

However, in many cases you do not need such advanced reporting features, and this plugin allows for easy embedding of sophisticated reports directly within a UI. |
