Check out JFreeReport and JFreeChart

Check out itext, which generates PDF and RTF files.

These are all free.

You could use JasperReports. It is based on xml files.
It provides a viewer with print, save as options. It exports files
in pdf, html, ps and some other stuff.
It has support for creating reports from database using queries or
using a datasource made of an array of java bean instances.
Use iReport for graphical editing of the xml report files.
