eclipse.org/birt. The Eclipse version of BIRT (which is an
open-source release under the Eclipse Public License) is the fly-by-the-seat-of-yourpants
version of BIRT, with all the latest bells and whistles, actively supported by the
BIRT community. This is where all the action is if you are into the development of
an application and if you are a computer tweaker, or you like the latest and greatest
features??”a stable distribution is always available. This is the most popular version
of BIRT.
The second version of BIRT is Actuate BIRT. Actuate BIRT is a corporate branded
version of BIRT, put out by the parent company behind the BIRT project, Actuate.
This version contains all the same features as the Eclipse BIRT, plus some features
that are specific to the Actuate platform, such as integration into Actuate Iserver.
Actuate's next generation of business intelligence solutions (Actuate 9) is built on top
of BIRT technology, with Actuate's BIRT Report Designer, Business Reports Tools,
and Iportal products all being heavily coupled with BIRT.
For the shirts out there who won't consider a product unless there is a professional
support unit to call in the middle of the night, and scream bloody murder when
things don't work, this is the option that you are looking for, as Actuate BIRT is fully
supported by Actuate.
