Java - print page

juror · 2008-09-02 20:04:28

I'm developing a small program that prints reports as part of it's functionality and I want to display these reports on a page, like a prevew before they are printed. What is the best gui component to use for this? I have tried using JTextPane but I'm not sure if this is the best option? Thanks

Hey Juror,
check out JFreeReport and Jasper Reports. Both are open source Java reporting tools, and both have print preview functionality plus pretty much any other reporting functionality that you might need. Might save ya a lot of hassle.
