Getting compile error when trying to preview

[halex]

Just installed Jaspersoft Ireport and am trying to get a feel for it as I have a client that is potentially interested in useing it.  I've successfully installed it and have set up a connection to a sample database that I have on a MySQL VM that's hosted on my workstation.  I have a query that pulls 1 row from a customer data table and displays just the first and last name of the customer on the report.

When I click on preview I get the error below.  Please note that all I have installed at this point is ireport.  I also have Java and the JDK installed on this machine.  Please let me know if there is anything else I need to make this work.

UPDATE:

This problem only occurs when I use a Text Fields.  If I just pull fields from the DB query it works fine, but as soon as I use a standard text field to add static text to the report I get this error.

RESOLVED:

The problem was that I was using "Text Field" instead of "Static Text".

how to change text field into static field?
