Jaspersoft software doesn't yet support JDK 1.8. You'll need to use JDK1.7.
i had already install jdk 7 & 8 and also applied both jdk's path then where is the problem
here it is explained how to set it to use jdk1.7

The solution is to use Jaspersoft Studio instead of iReport. iReport has already been announced to be depreciated. If you're just starting on JasperReports, it's probably not worth your time to spend time on technology that's going to be depreciated.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jasperstudio/files/JaspersoftStudio-5.6.0/
Install JDK 7.
Edit config file iReport-5.6.0/etc/ireport.conf
Uncomment #jdkhome="/path/to/jdk"
set your jdk 7 home(for example):
jdkhome="/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle"
Open iReport5.6.0 & enjoy :)
