The whole JEDI sucks, dependencies hell everywhere and IS TIED TO WINDOWS!
Some of the components have been converted though.
Virtual Treeview is available for Lazarus.
Quickreport is not needed because we have LazReport, more over, FastReport
is also Lazarus compatible.
Lazarus can connect to many DBMS, MySQL is one of them.

Yes, he knows about the database situation: his initial query was about how best to use Delphi with MySQL.

I was aware that at least part of JEDI had been converted (can anybody expand on this?), but I don't know his exact areas of interest. Also I was aware that Virtual Treeview had been compatible for quite some time (several years?) but didn't want to tell him bluntly that his understanding was outdated.

I believe that he's been using Quickreport for some while, so I suspect that his compatibility requirements would be quite aggressive. Comments, anyone?

Quickreport: from the days I worked with it, it uses windows metafiles to store 
the pages,
I doubt this will ever work in Lazarus.
