This is JODReports version 2.2.1, released on 2010-01-13

Please see

  http://sourceforge.net/projects/jodreports/
  
for the latest and up to date documentation.

Requirements
============

JODReports requires Java 1.4 or later (although with minor modifications
it can be made to work with 1.3 as well).

To create documents in formats other than OpenDocument Text (odt) an
OpenOffice.org instance running as a service is also required
See http://www.artofsolving.com/node/7 for more info.

To run the webapp a servlet 2.3 container such as Apache Tomcat 4.1
or later is also required.

own webapp without restrictions.)
