Pentaho Reporting Flow Engine (JFreeReport 0.9)

The Pentaho Reporting Flow Engine is the next generation reporting engine for the Pentaho Project. As we are still adding features to the engine to get a complete first version of this thing, this is the right time to collect ideas and feature-requests to make the Engine the best Reporting Engine on this planet.This part of the Wiki itself is subdivided into three sections. The Flow-Engine will evolve into 'Pentaho Reporting 2.0'.

Documentation

The documentation section acts as general library. It contains the content for the manual and all how-to's and technical articles that have been or will be written. Before posting an feature request, peek in here to see whether your requested feature isn't already implemented.

To-Do List

The To-Do list contains all tasks, that have been already scheduled for a later (or possibly the next) release.

Feature Requests

Please enter these requests into our JIRA system.  The Wish-List contains all (and I mean it: all) ideas, features and usage scenarios that could be possibly done using JFreeReport. Except for doing the Dishes or Time-Travelling, any idea is welcome here.

Once the idea has been developed enough, it will move on the To-Do list.

If the idea is already implemented, it moves into the documentation section - either as Documentation-ToDo or as link to the manual.

If the idea is rejected (for instance if it is not solveable, or is not even remotely related to reporting or content processing), it ends up in the [Recycle Bin].
