'''JasperReports Library''' is free open-source reporting engine able to use data from any data source.

==Product history==

JasperReports is the creation of Teodor Danciu, who began work on the project in June 2001 as a response to finding available options to be too expensive. In a 2005 interview, Danciu said of the project's origins:

<blockquote>"First I put on paper some initial requirements, and then I started to figure out possible solutions to the various technical challenges ahead. In September 2001, I already had some core functionality in place, and I registered the project at Sourceforge.net without releasing any files. But right away I started to receive messages from possible users that were interested in a product like the one I have described on Sourceforge.net, and I adopted the open-source strategy that says you have to 'release early, release often.' The feedback received from the community boosted my interest in the project, and soon my priorities were adapted to suit users' demand for new features."<ref name="DanciuInter05">{{cite web |url=http://rootprompt.org/article.php3?article=8332 |title=An Interview with Teodor Danciu of JasperReports |suthor=Talk, Chuck |publisher=Noel Davis |date=16 February 2005 |accessdate=23 May 2014}}</ref></blockquote>

On November 3, 2001, Danciu released a 0.1.5 version of the software on Freecode<ref name="JRFirstFree" />, followed by a 0.2.0 release two days later on SourceForge.<ref name="JRSFArch">{{cite web |url=http://sourceforge.net/projects/jasperreports/files/archive/jasperreports/ |title=archive / jasperreports |publisher=SourceForge |accessdate=23 May 2014}}</ref>

In April 2005, commercial company Panscopic Software — with help from venture-capital firms Discovery Ventures, Doll Capital Management, and Morgenthaler Ventures — acquired the rights to JasperReports and hired Danciu on to be the chief architect. The company immediately and formally rebranded itself as Jaspersoft Corporation on April 18, 2005.<ref name="BerlindJR">{{cite web |url=http://www.zdnet.com/blog/btl/can-an-open-source-project-get-acquired-one-just-did/1306 |title=Can an open source project get acquired?
