Why JasperViewer (Swing based component) is not dispaying report at JavaFX project?

I have 2 projects which run JasperReports. One which runs on JavaFX and one with just plain Java and a main class. Now, if I ran the plain Java project jasperReport works and displays (vai JasperViewer class), but with the JavaFX project it works but no report displays after clicking the button.

Why does it work for plain Java class but not for JavaFX?
What can I do to make it work in JavaFX?

Everything else is the same aside from them being javaFx and plain Java. I downloaded the following jar files for this:

Here are the projects:

NO.1. JavaFX:

DynaReportApp.java class

package jasperreport;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collection;
public class DynaReportApp {
    public DynaReportApp() {

    }
    public EmployeeReport start() {
        Collection<Employee> list = new ArrayList<>();

        list.add(new Employee(101, "Ravinder Shah",  67000, (float) 2.5));
        list.add(new Employee(102, "John Smith",  921436, (float) 9.5));
        list.add(new Employee(103, "Kenneth Johnson",  73545, (float) 1.5));
        list.add(new Employee(104, "John Travolta",  43988, (float) 0.5));
        list.add(new Employee(105, "Peter Parker",  93877, (float) 3.5));
        list.add(new Employee(106, "Leonhard Euler",  72000, (float) 2.3));
        list.add(new Employee(107, "William Shakespeare",  33000, (float) 1.4));
        list.add(new Employee(108, "Arup Bindal",  92000, (float) 6.2));
        list.add(new Employee(109, "Arin Kohfman",  55000, (float) 8.5));
        list.add(new Employee(110, "Albert Einstein",  89000, (float) 8.2));

        EmployeeReport report = new EmployeeReport(list);
        return report;

All right, this has been one heck of a roller-coaster but I finally found my solution and I hope it will help others as well. So apparently the above approach is correct. Everything is right to the dot. The only thing missing is jasper-compliler-jdlt 5.5.23.jar. So as long as you have all the above jars it should work. I also noticed that for some reason if you use a higher DynamicJasper version like 5.1.1, the whole thing won't work. So just try to keep the following jar files(list of complete jar files can be found below) as well as the above implementation and you should be fine. Cheers and happy coding :)

List of jar files

DynamicJasper 5.0.5. jar
commons-beanutils 1.9.2.jar
commons-collections 3.2.2.jar
commons-digester 2.1.jar
commons-logging 1.2.jar
jasperreports 5.6.0.jar or jasperreports 6.0.0.ar
jasper-compliler-jdlt 5.5.23.jar
