Virgil: I don’t have an official answer for that however in using both of those over time they are very similar in the fact that they are both open source reporting tools. Jasper is very similar to Crystal reportS where you have the nice banded report writer while BIRT was designed in 2004 to be very web friendly and you’ll see things like grids and nested grids which are designed for easy web layout… and you’ll see support in BIRT for things like multiple data sources which are easy to pull off in BIRT as well.
