BIRT plugin for JBoss Developer Studio is an Eclipse-based open source reporting system for web applications based on Java and J2EE. BIRT consists of two main components: a report designer based on Eclipse, and a runtime component that can be added to your app server. BIRT also offers a charting engine that lets you add charts to your own Web application.
