Setup
The first thing to do is make an ant build script that works on your system. build.xml may work out of the box but if it doesn't copy it and modify to suit your system.
The application is very small and simple. There's only one main class. If you have any questions, please contact me at oliver@agilebase.co.uk

Tasks
Some development ideas...
Adding database types
Currently RunJasperReports works with postgresql, mysql or firebird. Adding support for another database should be a very simple matter:
- drop a driver JAR in the lib folder
- edit OptionValues.java and add a new entry into the DatabaseType enumeration
XML Configuration
Allow XML configuration rather than command line parameters. Implemented by a third party, needs documenting and integrating
Done: Working with remote databases
'localhost' is currently hardcoded as the database host. Adding the ability to specify a specific host on the command line should be a simple matter
Done: JasperReport parameters
Allow the user to pass parameters to JasperReports on the command line. The syntax may be a bit complex as it would have to deal with different types - strings, integers etc.
