From the last few days, i am trying to figure out best reporting tools for my work. I have mongoDB database server and now i need to integrate it with reporting tool. For mongoDB i used the C binding so i am looking for a reporting tool in C/C++. I came across some great tools like BIRT, Jaspersoft and Pentaho but i didn't get clean answer whether they have support for C/C++. So my question is do they have C/C++ binding or API?.
Also if you have some other tools recommendation for my work then please share that also.
To answer your question: No, these tools don't have a C/C++ API.
However, as Stennie pointed out in the comment, this shouldn't really be necessary, as you can use them with a http API. If you really want to use integrate them tightly with a C/C++ program, consider embedding Java into your program and see Embed Java into a C++ application?.

I have started using Git for my other development projects (PHP, HTML, JavaScript, etc.) and can now see how beneficial it is, however I've been unable to find anything similar for Dynamics CRM 2011/2013 as a lot of the solution development is done within the web interface.
I'm guessing this is not possible, but could someone with more experience than me please confirm this or let me know which tools I should be looking into?
Thanks
You can use the Visual Studio Developer Toolkit available in the SDK to version control your plugins and web resources initially. I'd recommend this as your first step.
If you choose to take it further you can also look at using the SolutionPackager tool to version control your solutions. This will split out your solution zip file into separate version controllable files for each component. It works best when you follow the developer workflow outlined in the linked MSDN article
I was reading this article:
http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/deployment_toolkit.xml
and I get confused about the purpose and use of the DT Plug-in and the deployJava.js.
I always believe that the Deployment Toolkit is the set of functions of the deployJava.js file (like this link says: http://blogs.oracle.com/thejavatutorials/entry/deployment_toolkit_101) but according to the article there are two parts of the Deployment Toolkit: the Plug-in and the interface for the developer.
I'm asking about all of this because the deployJava.js fails to detect the appropriate version of Java in some of the machines of our users and I was wondering if the DT Plug-in could help us improve the detection, but I don't know how exactly it detects the Java version and when it does it or how can I use it to solve detection problems?
Most of this doubts are driven by the question in the article:
"Does deployJava.js work if the Java DT Toolkit plug-in is disabled?
Yes, deployJava.js contains some pure JavaScript functions, which will continue to work even if the Java DT Toolkit plug-in is disabled."
So... why do I need the deployJava.js if the DT Plug-in exists or vice versa?
Any help on this matter would be very appreciated.
Thank you very much.
If anyone has doubts about it, I've posted this question in the oracle forum and this was the reply:
Deployment toolkit is combination of native library and javascript
helpers. javascript is the only official public API to native library.
JRE is installed with DT native library that is left on the system if
JRE is uninstalled. As of now DT native library is only available on
Windows.
Javascript helper functions use native library if it is available but
many actions can be performed (with degraded accuracy, etc.) even if
native library is not present.
Note that there is new Javascript APIs for DT as alternative to
deployJava.js. it is called
[dtjava.js|http://download.oracle.com/javafx/2.0/deployment/deployment_toolkit.htm#BABJHEJA]
and is primary API for JavaFX applications. However, it also supports
pure Java apps and likely will be main JS API for DT going forward
(some more testing and bug fixing may be needed).
Hope this helps to clarify the relationship.

I wish to write my own Python IDE (just for the heck of it). I was wondering if I could use Eclipse as a foundation. This will save me from coding a whole lotta things (code editor, intellisense and so on).
To understand what I mean, please take a look at Visual Studio Isolated Shell. I'm essentially looking for something equivalent. Searching on Google hasn't helped. Is there anything like this available in Eclipse's case?
Yes. Eclipse is designed to have additional languages added and there is extensive support for this kind of plugin development. I'm surprised Googling didn't help - there's an entire site dedicated to a tutorial on the basics and a toolkit for developing such things
I came to know that eclipse can be used for other languages as well. But will it give the same comfort level as using java? Is there anybody who has used eclipse for other languages?
I've used Eclipse for both C/C++, Ruby, Erlang, and a few others. None of these are as tightly integrated with Eclipse as Java is, but CDT (C/C++) gives Visual Studio a good run for its money. I usually use Emacs for the other ones.
Yes, you can use Eclipse for many languages other than Java. I personally use Eclipse to code in C++, Perl, PHP, and do JavaScript as well inside of it. While it also supports plugins for connecting and executing queries against databases, I tend to prefer other options there such as Toad or Oracle SQL Developer. There are numerous other plugins to support many other languages that you can find either through the Update Manager or a simple Google search, many of which are excellent.
As a side note, if you're not using Mylyn, you're missing out.
Eclipse is used as a base for other language and tool:
for example As3 with FlashBuilder; PHP, Javascript with Aptana studio, C,Python,... with other plugins, etc...
You can found here for example some plugins for other languages.
I've used it for Javascript (jQuery): compile-time checks are a godsend to the barren lands of javascript.
For Java developement I feel most comfortable using Eclipse.
I tried using Eclipse for coding with Python. There is PyDev, an Eclipse plugin that can be used to work with the Python code in Eclipse. Though PyDev provides features like Code Completion, Syntax highlighting etc, I felt comfortable to use editors like gvim or emacs rather than Eclipse
for working with Python code. YMMV
Yes, Eclipse supports many other languages.
But you knew that already when you saw http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
So, I guess that you are asking how well it supports them...
It is possible to have Eclipse without Java. Imagine taking that and then adding Java support. Compare that with CDT for C++ and - in my experience - they are pretty much the same.
Yes, Eclipse is slanted at Java, and I doubt that anyone will deny that, but at the same time it tries to be fair and generic and pretty much achieves it. Any few % less other language support doesn't matter when you realize that no other IDE compares.
Bottom line, whatever your language, you will be hard pushed to beat Eclipse.
And that's before I get started on the myriad plugins ...
Not only programming, debugging with Eclipse is sweet. Beside Java, the other languages I mostly work on Eclipse are PHP and Python.
While I was working on the Eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP) project we often said that the Java Development Tools (JDT) were the model that we referenced for features for Web related languages. I think JDT has set the bar and many other projects that implement language specific tooling try to reach the JDT bar. I don't know that any have or that copying everything about JDT is the point but I do think the Java tools are exemplary development tools.
Are there any freely available Ada plugins eclipse. Eclipse is my main IDE and I occasionally need to read and modify some Ada, having it all in the one IDE would be ideal.
For Eclipse, AdaCore distributes and maintains the GNATBench plug-in, though I've never personally used it. I believe it is not GNAT specific, so it may still be of value even if you're using a different compiler--but I could be wrong on that :-)
If you're using the GNAT Ada compilation system, you've got a fully Ada-aware IDE in their GNAT Programming Studio (GPS), which is what I've been using ever since it finally stabilized a few years ago. It's got the jump-to-definition, get references, specialized search, etc., capabilities that you'd expect.
These, as well as the rest of AdaCore's GPL Ada development environment and tools, are available from AdaCore's Libre website. Download page is here.
If all you need is syntax highlighting, then maybe EclipseColorer will do the trick for you? It's a general-purpose extensible syntax highlighting engine that has definitions for Ada out of the box.
