What is JasperStarter?

JasperStarter

JasperStarter is a cool open-source tool that helps developers run JasperReports with ease. This app works mainly as a console application, so you can run any JasperReport that needs a JDBC, CSV, XML, JSON, or even JSONQL datasource. You can use any database that has a JDBC driver, and guess what? You can also use an empty datasource if needed.
