JasperReports
JasperReports is the leading open source reporting engine. It is used for business intelligence (reporting, OLAP) in Web and desktop applications. Report templates are used to generate print- quality output (PDF, HTML, RTF, XLS) from many data sources.

It seems JasperReports is a Part of an entire Intellegence Reporting Package called (of Course) "JasperIntelligence".
JasperIntelligence is an open source business intelligence platform from JasperSoft, providing common services like security and metadata management, and the capability to easily add additional functionality. JasperServer is the first service using the JasperIntelligence platform.
