Hey, i remember trying to use crystal reports with java before, there was a problem with it being not free.. like you have to pay money ( n if im not wrong quite a lot ) to be able to use it with java, couldnt find a non commercial license either.. i settled on using OSS packages called (iReport and Jasper Reports) theyre java based, and very helpful in producing  XML based reports, jasper is the engine, ireport is just a Crystal-like IDE that makes it easy to use Jasper.. i remember there were all sorts of IDEs for all sorts of reports building.. once you get the xml reports out.. you can export them to anything you want really.. web , XLS, PDF.. they were all suported on both packages.. you can find the packages on source forge, n they run on both windows and linux ( as in actually run, no tweak required)..
Heres the link for the Designer IDE:

http://ireport.sourceforge.net/

And teh Engine:

http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/

 

hope i was of help man, please do let me know what happens with you.. specially if you figure out a way to run crystal reports with java for free..

/me out.
