Stimulsoft Reports.Fx for Java adds report checker

Stimulsoft Reports.Fx for Java is a reporting solution, designed to interact with your Java applications. The report engine was developed using Adobe Flash. Reports are rendered, displayed and edited using this technology which allows you to run the product on any client where Flash Player is installed. You can use the product with client-server and desktop versions of Java applications. A fully-featured standalone report designer is included in Stimulsoft Reports.Fx for Java. This allows designers to work on multiple platforms without compatibility issues. In addition to the standalone report designer, Stimulsoft Reports.Fx for Java includes a report designer that can be launched in a browser window (Web component) and from a Java application (SWT component).
