Hmm.... how interesting.  I'll read the blog later.  In the meantime,
please take a look at our tutorial and, if you have some personal
experience experimenting with both, that would be great to hear.

My hope is long term to have a BI tool embedded into OFBiz, so reports
can be designed with a designer/tool, then uploaded to the server and
rendered.  It would have to be compatible with the  OFBiz Apache
License, which David tells me the MPL is not a problem.

Please let us know if you find out more.

BIRT appears more mature and has more current market acceptance. Pentaho is a work in progress but aims to release an enterprise-class BI platform into open source.
