What is a Jasper Report ?
 Jasper Report is an open source reporting engine.
 It provides ability to deliver rich content onto to the printer, the screen, or into various formats such as PDF,
HTML, XLS, RTF, ODT, CSV, TXT and XML files.
 Jasper Report can also be used to provide reporting capabilities in our applications.
 As it is not a standalone tool, it cannot be installed on its own. Instead, it is embedded into Java applications by
including its library in the application’s CLASSPATH.
