Tool for AI performance reporting

[jfelrod1960]

I'm building a new AI Engine that makes heavy use of soft-methodologies (fuzzy, genetic, neural).  I'm planning to use this API to create statistical/performance reports from learning simulations.  The statistical reports will be stored as MS Excel files, but a lot of Java game development is done on UNIX/Linux/Solaris which I'm afraid may discourage those developers from using it.

Would like to get your opinion?

Thanks!

Sounds cool.

Sun's Open Office can open excel files pretty easy.

Are you going to use Apache POI to make the excel files?

Alternatively, you could save the data as .csv comma or tab-separated files.

That was my original idea.  But posting this same question on another forum, I learned about JFreeCharts. (http://www.jfree.org/jfreechart)
It looks like a very good product, used by quite few reputable companies.
