The tool JDeploy! on http://sourceforge.net/projects/jaspertools/?source=directory allows to deal with reports deployment on diferents environments (development, pre production, production). It dont touch the datasources when deploying a report, so the systems department can define it. It also defines a estandarized way to package the reports and subreports of a project on a zip file. And includes other utils to list reports, create datasources,... I hope to helped you. bye.
