What are some of the new features of BIRT 2.3?
GUI SQL Query Builder Prototype – Feature includes a graphical query building area so someone can create queries to a database without having to understand SQL. User can select columns, join tables together, perform grouping and sorting, etc. Javascript Debugger – BIRT 2.3 now includes the ability to debug your custom scripts written against the BIRT event model. You can now assign breakpoints and step through your BIRT scripts the same way you would debug your typical Java code. Scriptable Crosstabs – The crosstab control now has scriptable events that fire during runtime. You can use this to create a custom crosstab look based on data like highlighting certain values, etc. Copy and Paste formatting – BIRT has already had the ability to have reusable styles, however, if you have applied various formatting manually to a report element and have decided to apply that same formatting to many more elements, you can now copy the formatting and paste it onto as many elements as you like.
