Best Reporting Tools for Java Environment

Hello,


I'm a newbie in here and I was wondering if you can help me.
I'm developing a software using Netbeans and the database I'm using is MySQL. The web applications. My development is finished 50% and I'm going to create some reports generated from the web applications, but I don't know what kind of reporting tools are suitable for it. Some of my friends are suggesting me to use i-Report, while the others are suggesting me to use Crystal Reports.
When I was developing a desktop application, I always use Crystal Report 8.5.But now after I'm developed web applications, I have no idea if I can still use Crystal Reports 8.5. I don't know if the Crystal Reports are suitable for Java Environment since, I think it was intended for a .Net programming.
I know there are many best reporting tools out there and wondering if you're in my place, what kind of reporting tools that you're going to use. For i-Report, I've tried using it but I cannot get more satisfaction results I guess my mindset still in Crystal Reports. So sometimes I try to applied it in i-Report.
Please help me find the best reporting tools that works great in Java Environment.


Thanks.

Commonly used is JasperReports for Java.

It has the flexibilty in terms to connectivity to relational databases (RDBMS), Java (Hibernate, EJB), POJO, and XML data sources
