I have jrxml file, I want to compile this to get .jasper. How do I compile and get that jasper file?
This question is related to
java
jasper-reports
ireport
jaspersoft-studio
For anyone coming across this question who uses Jaspersoft Studio (which, I think, is replacing iReports; it's quite similar, still freeware, just based on eclipse), look for the "Compile Report" icon on top of the editor area of your .jrxml file. Its icon, first in that line of icons, is a file with binary numbers on it (at least in version 5.6.2):
Clicking this icon will generate the .jasper file in the same directory as the .jrxml file.
I'm using iReport 2.0.2 to generate the jasper file.
I didn't found the hammer logo, but I have a menu create > compile
in the menu bar who create the the jasper file in the iReport program files folder :
IReport Logs :"Compilation vers le fichier... .\SalesOrderItemsSubreportA4.jasper -> C:\Program Files\JasperSoft\iReport-2.0.2\SalesOrderItemsSubreportA4.java"
If you are using iReport you can easily do it.
In eclipse,
.jrxml
file and select Open with JasperReports Book Editor
Design
tab for the .jrxml
file.Compile Report
icon.Using iReport designer 5.6.0, if you wish to compile multiple jrxml files without previewing - go to Tools -> Massive Processing Tool. Select Elaboration Type as "Compile Files", select the folder where all your jrxml reports are stored, and compile them in a batch.
with maven it is automatic:

<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>jasperreports-maven-plugin</artifactId>

You can also Preview your report so it's automatically compiled.
Using Version 5.1.0:
Just click preview and it will create a YourReportName.jasper for you in the same working directory.
