--- Comment #15 from Julien Nabet <serval2412 at yahoo.fr> ---
Some remarks

1) Reportbuilder README says "Oracle report builder extension, from
[http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/reportdesign" the website
indicates last version is 1.2.1 (2010-12-14).

2) this part is linked to JFreeReport which corresponds to a dozen of package
with different version numbers (see download.lst)

3) tdf#67832: "upgrade our jfreereport libraries" where Lionel indicates these
links:
https://github.com/pentaho/pentaho-reporting
http://jfree.org/jcommon/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jfreereport/files/, but could not find sources
there.
All of these are in Java but since some years LO tries to move away from it.
Moreover nobody gave it a try after 4 years.

Finally this bugtracker shows that some people thought about a new and
certainly useful feature but never implemented it.

In brief, it seems we're in a dead end and perhaps it's the case for the whole
reportbuilder.
