I'm trying to use JasperReports for the first time, and have written a "Hello World"-document. But I don't know how I can preview my document with JasperDesignViewer. My .jrxml-file compiles fine to a .jasper-file. How do I call JasperDesignViewer? I'm not using Ant.

My Java code:

import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperCompileManager;
import net.sf.jasperreports.view.JasperDesignViewer;

public class ReportTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            JasperCompileManager.compileReportToFile("reports/ReportFile.jrxml");
            //new JasperDesignViewer();
        } catch (JRException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

My JRXML-file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE jasperReport
  PUBLIC "-//JasperReports//DTD Report Design//EN"
  "http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/dtds/jasperreport.dtd">

<jasperReport name="FirstReport">
  <detail>
    <band height="20">
      <staticText>
        <reportElement x="180" y="0" width="200" height="20"/>
        <text><![CDATA[Hello World!]]></text>
      </staticText>
    </band>
  </detail>
</jasperReport>
