Source: eChannelLine Canada

Summary:
Business Objects has announced a preview release of Crystal Reports for Eclipse. This new version will provide a 100 percent Java-based report design and deployment environment for application developers. With the preview release, application developers can create new reports or use existing Crystal Reports documents, and integrate them directly into applications. This new version will take full advantage of the Eclipse user interface, including dockable panes and context sensitive menus to customize the reports without ever leaving the Eclipse development environment. In addition, Business Objects is providing a development and test license of the embedded reporting engine that lets developers build report viewing directly within client-server and web applications. The preview and the test version of the embedded reporting engine license will be delivered in Q4 of 2005. Eclipse developers can register today for the free download at http://www.businessobjects.com/eclipse.
