Using JTable as datasource in BIRT report [message #1004726]

Hi. BIRT newbie here. My goal is simple, I want to provide an option for printing the contents of a swing Jtable component using BIRT. I could define a datasource identical to the one that populated the table and go back to the DB layer and fetch the same data again, BUT I got the data already staring me in the face.

My thought was to use the report engine API to try and provide a reference to my JTable instance (actually the reference to the DataModel underneath the Jtable) in the reportContext, which would then make that object accessible to the scripting environment. Sound reasonable?

Could someone provide a way to get the JavaDoc for the report engine API? I have been looking over the forums and the BIRT project for several days and cannot find any conventional JavaDoc documentation. I just want to see all the methods for all the classes in the viewer and report API packages.

Thanks in advance
