Hi,
I'm currently researching Business Intelligence tools to integrate into a web application, and must do the following:
The ones I am aware of are BIRT, JasperReports, and Pentaho. BIRT seems good and was easy to use, but doesn't look as flashy.
JasperReports seems to be a nightmare to actually get running as the plugins to NetBeans and Eclipse either don't work very well, or is very unintuitive, and documentation for newbies is almost non-existent.
Pentaho I've only just encountered and haven't had a chance to play around.
Appreciate it if anyone can offer any recommendations.

- Run on Linux
- Produce reports (PDF, or some other format)
- Interactive reports that lets users drill down in various dimensions of data This needs to be embeddable in a Java web application
- Reports need to look good
