JasperStarter

JasperStarter is an open-source application that provides developers with batch compiler and launcher for JasperReports. Running exclusively as a console application, JasperStarter makes it possible to run any JasperReport that requires a JDBC, CSV, XML, JSON or JSONQL datasource. Any database for which a JDBC driver is available can be used with JasperStarter. An empty datasource can also be used.

Please keep in mind that Java is required to be able to use this application and that you will be prompted to download it unless present on your system. On the other hand, the package includes JasperReports, s there is no need to download it separately.

The application runs in the Windows console exclusively. Despite not having a standard interface, JasperStarter provides a rather simple syntax and a help section that explains each available command for you to get started easily.

JasperStarter comes with options to open, view, print, export and compile reports. You can either use the system's default printer or select the printer yourself, with print preview options available. As expected, it supports exporting reports to the formats supported by JasperReports: PDF, RTF, XLS, XLSX, DOCX, CSV, HTML, and more. The tool can run reports with subreports and execute reports that require additional runtime parameters.

The portable version of the software can be found here.
