I just checked and the Apache Open Office extensions site is still 
calling it Oracle Report Builder, version 1.2.1.
I also checked my LibreOffice 3.6.4.3 "extension" (built-in) and it is 
just called "Report Builder" version 1.2.3.  So, it appears some 
modification to the ORB 1.2.1 has been made to the LO bundled Report 
Builder.  Maybe I should try it again...
