DynamicReports
What it is
DynamicReports is a free, open-source Java reporting library based on JasperReports. It builds report designs dynamically in Java code at runtime, without requiring a visual report designer, and is described as suitable for ad hoc reporting. Reports can be displayed, printed, or exported to formats including PDF, Excel, and Word. Its listed capabilities include columns, groups, subtotals, report bands, conditional styles, charts, barcodes, and table of contents generation. Dynamic designs can also be combined with static JasperReports JRXML designs, including through subreports. Maven projects can use the Maven Central dependency; non-Maven projects can download the project with dependencies from SourceForge. The stated requirements are Java 1.7 or above and JasperReports 6.4.0. The project points users to documentation and a community forum, and directs feature requests and bug reports to its project tracker. Related tools and resources include JasperReports, Google Charts, Eclipse, and Apache Maven. The listed license is the GNU Lesser General Public License, Version 3.
