The following announcement is directly pertinent to CollectionSpace, because the system's reporting functionality is based on Jaspersoft's JasperReports, and its associated iReport Designer product has been the tool of choice for authoring these reports: On October 29, 2013, Jaspersoft announced that: "NOTE: As of version 5.5.0, Jaspersoft Studio will be the official design client for JasperReports. iReport will remain as a supported product in maintenance-only mode until December 31, 2015, meaning we will continue to fix critical defects in upcoming releases but no new features will be added to the iReport client. Continue to maintain your existing reports with the new Jaspersoft Studio!" From: http://sourceforge.net/p/ireport/news/2013/10/ireportjaspersoft-studio-support-announcement/ and http://community.jaspersoft.com/project/ireport-designer This doesn't mean you will have to make any near-term changes to the way you author reports for CollectionSpace, but I wanted to still share this as an FYI.

Aron Roberts UC Berkeley -- More details: A list of features present in Jaspersoft Studio (Eclipse-based) that aren't present in iReport Designer (NetBeans-based): http://community.jaspersoft.com/wiki/jaspersoft-studio-features#New_features_not_available_in_iReport Jaspersoft Studio downloads: http://community.jaspersoft.com/project/jaspersoft-studio/releases Some perspective on Jaspersoft's deprecation of iReport Designer: http://community.jaspersoft.com/questions/818199/ireport-designer-vs-jaspersoft-studio "The idea is that in the future all the new features and future developments will be available in Jaspersoft Studio. So it's better to get in touch and start using it. "iReport will continue to be supported but no new features, besides the essentials [sic] support to the upcoming JR releases, will be implemented. This is mostly because of its existing large users-base and since it is the most popular report designer for JasperReports. However the plan is to move people to the adoption of Jaspersoft Studio."
