I have a java based application that includes a report generation capability. The report module retrieves information from a back – end database formats the data, then displays it in a window from which it can be printed. The capabilities of this module are rudimentary. I would like to incorporate a more sophisticated report generation tool. Does such a package exists? I want to incorporate calls to this functionality into my application. The package of functions can either be open source or commercial.

You could use Birt or Jasper Reports.
I’m not totally sure on Birt as I don’t have to book at home and haven’t done it yet. However you can programatically generate reports with Jasper Reports.
Both support generating a report from a template you designed with a report designer. Birt is probably more powerful then the open source jasper reports. Both have a commercial counter-part.
