I'm looking for an OSS report writer similar to Crystal Reports. I've found several on sourceforge and have heard good things about Jasper, but I'd like to know what you (or the company you work for) uses and why. It needs to be dead easy for the end user to get reports with lots of charts and graphs and dynamically generated content. Also needs the ability to export reports as flat files in xml or some other simple format.
