--- Comment #7 from Julien Nabet <serval2412 at yahoo.fr> ---
- Reportdesign corresponds to legacy reports according to README
https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/reportdesign/README?r=fe95086e

- Reportbuilder README indicates:
 Report Builder, or "new style reports", replacing legacy reports (in
reportdesign).
 Started as an extension called "Sun Report Builder" then "Oracle Report
Builder"
 [http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/reportdesign],
 which got bundled with LibreOffice, then converted to an optionally
installable
 (but installed by default) part of LibreOffice proper.

 Uses the Pentaho Reporting Flow Engine of Pentaho BI
[http://www.pentaho.com/].

- https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67832 shows that Pentaho
and JFreeReports which are related to Reportbuilder haven't been updated since
about 6 years.


1) for Reportbuilder, is this possible to debug this if the pb is in external
sources? (or perhaps already fixed in these!) 
Knowing that these seem difficult to update and/or don't seem to interest
enough people to give it a try, how can we advance here?


2) Reportdesign has been considered legacy since several years, could it be
removed?
(Goal: simplify LO code)
