Jasper Reports documentation

We are trying to implement an EGL project with Jasper Reporting and do not find the existing documentation on this topic very explicit in general.

Present resources found are:
RBD infocenter to Jasper reports via http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/rbdhelp/v7r5m0/topic/com.ibm.egl.lr.doc/topics/regl_ui_rep_jasper_overview.html

EGL Language Reference
EGL Programmer's Guide
where basic Jasper Reports chapters are contained

    Jasper reporting is a legacy technology in EGL. It was primarily targeted for Informix 4GL to EGL migrations, and is being maintained in order to support existing applications. BIRT reporting is our strategic direction.

    We have no plans to provide enhanced documentation for Jasper reporting because we do not want to encourage new applications to be written using the non-strategic technology.
