but I don't have any idea regarding reporting tool in Java. Please help
me out to make a decision in this dilema. Please let me know about any
specific feature provides by Java for the windows application and
reporting.
I'm hazy on what reporting even is, but there's nothing in the java
standard libraries for doing it; these seem to be a couple of good
options:

Reporting is pretty much what common-sense says it is - producing reports. A
JSP displaying a table of information is a reporting tool. The df command is
a reporting tool. The Windows Task Manager is a reporting tool.
Of course, what most people really mean is a program that can produce pretty
tables and piecharts and headers and forms, with the ability to readily link
data sources to pre-defined report templates and suchlike. And ideally the
data would be business data, meant for sales and marketing types, so that
you'll be the 515,443,706th coder to spend 3 days finetuning the border
colors and header fonts on a Units Sold by Region and Month table...rather
than working on less critical things, like why does the server crash? :-)
