There are three ways to compile jrxml to jasper.

You can do direct compile via compile button (hammer logo) on iReport designer.

You can use ant to compile as shown in the Ant Compile Sample.

<target name="compile1"> 
  <mkdir dir="./build/reports"/> 
  <jrc 
    srcdir="./reports"
    destdir="./build/reports"
    tempdir="./build/reports"
    keepjava="true"
    xmlvalidation="true">
   <classpath refid="runClasspath"/>
   <include name="**/*.jrxml"/>
  </jrc>
</target>

Below is the report compile task on my current project.

addition from Daniel Rikowski :

You can also use the JasperCompileManager class to compile from your java code.

JasperCompileManager.compileReportToFile(
                "our_jasper_template.jrxml", // the path to the jrxml file to compile
                "our_compiled_template.jasper"); // the path and name we want to save the compiled file to

Can you add how to link a datasource to example #3 ? – Daniel W. Jul 03 '13 at 12:28
I suggest you add an image for #1 - the "hammer" logog... Picture makes it obvious. – Don Cheadle Apr 21 '16 at 14:54
iReport Designer is no longer supported. It is better to use Jaspersoft Studio now. – Pierre Sep 03 '18 at 08:46
Please post your ant build.xml as text, not as image. It's truncated, and people cannot copy & paste it. – Robert Dec 20 '19 at 17:49

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):

Jaspersoft Studio - compile report

Clicking this icon will generate the .jasper file in the same directory as the .jrxml file.

with maven it is automatic:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
  <artifactId>jasperreports-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
    <outputDirectory>target/${project.artifactId}/WEB-INF/reports</outputDirectory>

  <executions>
    <execution>
      <phase>prepare-package</phase>
      <inherited>false</inherited>
      <goals>
         <goal>compile-reports</goal>
      </goals>
    </execution>
  </executions>
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
       <groupId>net.sf.jasperreports</groupId>

prepare-package is realy important if you are working with sping boot jar. — Arundev, Jun 11 '18 at 14:43

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"

In eclipse,

Install Jaspersoft Studio for eclipse.
Right click the .jrxml file and select Open with JasperReports Book Editor
Open the Design tab for the .jrxml file.
On top of the window you can see the 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.

If you are using iReport you can easily do it.

When you click preview it will automatically compile.
There is an option to make it complie. You can compile by selecting the page then right click you will get the compile option.

Using Version 5.1.0:

Just click preview and it will create a YourReportName.jasper for you in the same working directory.

Open your .jrxml file in iReport Designer.
Open the Report Inspector (Window -> Report Inspector).
Right-click your report name on the top of the inspector and then click "Compile Report".

You can also Preview your report so it's automatically compiled.

In iReport 5.5.0, just right click the report base hierarchy in Report Inspector Bloc Window viewer, then click Compile Report

You can now see the result in the console down. If no Errors, you may see something like this.
