BIRT in spring boot app

Question

I need to create a report capability(function) in an existing spring boot web application. The suggestion was to use BIRT, which I could integrate with the spring boot web app.

Answer 1

Regarding @Kent Johnson 's answer. I didn't manage to configure the project with gradle, but I managed to build it with maven. Below is the pom.xml
