Greetings, We are working at integrating with BIRT to produce our reports. Has anyone been involved with this so far? Interested in joining our efforts?

Jacques,
For other reader''s reference, Eclipse BIRT (www.eclipse.org/birt) is a
Java-based, open source reporting project.
I''m most familiar BIRT 1.0, things may have changed some in the 2.x
releases. There should be two approaches. First, you can call into the
BIRT engine directly, assuming there is some kind of Ruby-to-Java
bridge. (I''m a Ruby newbie, so don''t know if there is...) I
suppose you
could simply run the BIRT engine in a separate Java process if nothing
else. Check out the BIRT report engine API if you want to go this
approach.
Second, you can use URLs to redirect the browser to the BIRT viewer.
The URL could let your user view an existing report. The URL should
also allow you to specify report parameters so you can run a new report
based on data from your Rails-based app. There were instructions on the
BIRT website (I hope they are still there) about how to integrate with
PHP using URLs; the same should work for Ruby.
I hope this is helpful...
- Paul

I am working on a project where we decided to intergrate BIRT for our reporting.. And i cannot find any documentation what so ever anywhere online.. Has anyone successfully integrated BIRT to a Rails Project? If so i would really appreciate any help you can give me.. Thanks in advance..
