You can use the default Web Viewer (J2EE Component)<br />
<a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/deploy/viewerUsage2.2.php'>Using the BIRT Report Viewer</a><br />
<br />
or use the report engine API to call it from a standalone Java application.<br />
<a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/deploy/reportEngineAPI.php'>Report Engine API</a><br />
<br />
There is also a ReportRunner example in the Report engine download that is already built and calls a report using a bat or shell script.<br />
