Report Writer save as Crystal Reports rpt file

Is there any open source Report Writer (preferably with an Eclipse plugin) that can also be saved as a Crystal Report .rpt file.

The reason: Due to workload constraints from the ERP Data Management team, I will be connecting to an ERP datasource temporarily so we can access data and produce a report for our users until they ERP team has the time to generate the Crystal Report they use from the ERP (6-9 months).

Our ideal solution would allow us to use a report writer to generate the reports we need and then save it in .rpt format whi开发者_StackOverflow社区ch would cut down on the time till it can be deployed in the ERP.

How about a copy of Crystal Reports Developer?

• It's relatively cheap ($400 USD). For a 6-9 month delay, imho, this is not an excessive price.

• It has an eclipse plugin: http://www.sap.com/solutions/sap-crystal-solutions/query-reporting-analysis/sapcrystalreports-eclipse/index.epx

• There is also a free Viewer: http://www.sap.com/solutions/sap-crystal-solutions/query-reporting-analysis/sapcrystalviewer/index.epx
