Default settings

DynamicReports automatically looks for a file named dynamicreports-defaults.xml on startup.
In this file you can change the default settings (default font, pattern and horizontal alignment for all data types).

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <DynamicReports>
    <!-- DEFAULT FONT -->
    <font fontName="SansSerif" fontSize="10" pdfFontName="Helvetica" pdfEncoding="Cp1252" pdfEmbedded="false"/>
        
    <!-- DEFAULT DATA TYPES -->
    <bigDecimalType pattern="#,##0.00#" horizontalAlignment="RIGHT"/>
    <dateType pattern="MM/dd/yyyy" horizontalAlignment="RIGHT"/>
    ...  
  </DynamicReports>
 

Maven configuration

DynamicReports is synchronized with Maven Central Repository.
Add the dependencies listed below to your pom.xml configuration file.

<dependency>
  <groupId>net.sourceforge.dynamicreports</groupId>
  <artifactId>dynamicreports-core</artifactId>
  <version>5.1.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>net.sourceforge.dynamicreports</groupId>
  <artifactId>dynamicreports-adhoc</artifactId>
  <version>5.1.0</version>
</dependency>   
<dependency>
  <groupId>net.sourceforge.dynamicreports</groupId>
  <artifactId>dynamicreports-googlecharts</artifactId>
  <version>5.1.0</version>
</dependency> 

In some situations, maven may have a problem with downloading the itext-2.1.7.js6 dependency to your local maven repository. The problem may happen because the library itext-2.1.7.js6 is not available in maven central repository, it is only available through JasperReports maven repository. If you are behind a firewall check if the firewall is not blocking that repository link or download the dependency and add it to your repository manually.
