Hi Pedro,
The report builder extension has 49 open bugs:
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=runnamed;namedcmd=SRB_open;list_id=2823
Lot of bugs reported by me, I was the volunteer QA on this feature.
Some of them needs to be repaired, and some features available in
pentaho reporting, not implemented it in, for example subreports, and
new chart features from OOo.
If I know correctly the original developer will not continue working on it.
If some developer continue the development, I will do QA on it.
Regards,
Zoltan

Hi Ariel;
I honestly have no idea how this works: can we turn this
into an uno extension, and make it available in the
extensions site?
We can keep the sources, and maybe even some SVN history,
in Apache-extras but once it builds I don't think we have
to do a lot of maintenance.
Pedro.

the reportbuilder won't be built nor released by AOOo, but
anyone can
take the sources and build it (for example, it would be
useful to take
the sources and make a Netbeans project out of it).
This extension is not really extension in the real sense of
the term
(extending OOo without touching any line of source code),
it depends on
the core functionality introduced in the reportdesign
module.
AOOo is not removing reportdesign nor reportbuilder.
The main issue is not the source code (on the software
grant from
Oracle, so no issue at all), nor the 3rd parties libraries
(the code
that relies on them can be built as an extension by anyone
who wants),
but the lack of man power with the knowledge to maintain
and further
develop it.
