Info

The tutorial below is a bit outdated, but it still very useful to create a BIRT report from scratch and get useful tips


This tutorial will guide you step by step to create a BIRT report from the scratch fully integrated with JIRA. You will learn the BIRT's basics to connect to JIRA data, create visualizations (tables, charts), format reports to get a similar appearance than JIRA, build reports that work locally with Eclipse and remotely with JIRA at time, use variables, parameters, grouping, data aggregation, etc.

Developing BIRT reports is almost like building HTML pages... but  in a more structured way. BIRT reports are XML documents supporting layouts, items like tables, charts, etc, styles, and so on. You do not have to learn XML BIRT document format as the BIRT Eclipse tool allows to create them in a friendly and visual way and use some basic Javascript and HTML code embedded in reports. The BIRT engine (server) transforms BIRT XML documents (reports) into HTML pages and other popular formats (MS Offics, PDF, etc).
