Configuration of the running environment
Installation of 1:JDK and Ant and Configuration of environment variables (here we go, I think it's easy to find information)

2: Using ant to compile the example in demo
To the CMD mode, to a directory of sample, such as to
The Jasperreports/demo/samples/alterdesign directory
In step 1:cmd, type ant
will prompt you to compile Java successfully, will generate the. class file

In step 2:cmd, type ant compile
The Jasper file is compiled and the. Jasper file is generated

In step 3:cmd, type ant fill
populating data, generating. jrprint files

Step 4: (partially require this feature) to start a new cmd, type ant or ant runserver in the/demo/hsqldb directory
Start the database, this is where it will stop, so give him a separate cmd. CTRL + C will quit

In step 5:cmd, type ant viewdesign//View the source file interface effect
Ant View//view Run effect

This should see the effect of it, hehe.
