Jaspersoft Community: Welcome to
the new JasperForge! We are thrilled to provide this much more advanced Forge platform and expect it
to deliver the on-going foundation we know is required to sustain the largest, most vibrant ecosystem in
the business intelligence industry. Your active use of this Forge combined with feedback on what you
like and what you’d like us to improve, will fuel continued advancements that everyone will
share. To this end, please visit the dedicated forum http://www.jas
perforge.org/plugins/espforum/browse.php?group_id=100&forumid=117 we have created to listen to
and receive your valuable feedback.
So, what is so exciting about
this new JasperForge?
Community and Private Project Areas – even more so than the first JasperForge (2
years ago now), this new site provides each community member with dedicated space, complete with
collaboration tools to create and manage both community and private projects. Sophisticated
developer tools ensure the simple creation and management of file releases and file download, software
version control, artifact tracking, developer and user discussion forums, document management and
sharing, and wikis. It has never been easier to launch a new project (of many types), find
like-minded people to help advance the project, and then manage it toward faster
success.
Extended Social Networking Functions – delivered via enhanced user My Page capabilities. By
extension, the broader Jasper community (including customers and partners) can create projects directly
on the new Forge, or easily connect remote projects, tools, or the artifacts of any tool to the new
JasperForge via Ecosystem Enablement. This unique Ecosystem Enablement function (a feature of the
underlying EssentiaESP platform) will allow us to eventually use JasperForge to align our Jaspersoft
(internal) engineering team with outside contractors, the open source community of contributors and
reviewers, business partners, and suppliers – all within the same community and ecosystem.
These extended social networking tools will dramatically improve the total community’s
ability to communicate and collaborate.
Rich Content Management – now extended to every user, every tool, and every page in
the new JasperForge (with the exception of artifact tracking). This rich content management
capability ensures that we deliver a consistent, sophisticated, and modern user experience to all
community members and visitors.
I could go on and
on about the new features of this new JasperForge. But, it’s more important for you to
experience the new site and then tell us about it. We hope that the new features and capabilities make
your JasperForge experience significantly better.
Thanks for your help in making the Jaspersoft business intelligence community, via JasperForge,
the most vibrant in the world.

"I have been using JasperReports for over four months, during which I had opportunities to get intimately familiar with the code, and I feel it is written very well. "
