DynamicJasper: How to fix java.lang.NoSuchMethodError error

Question

I have a example for dynamic jasper report.

I am using NetBeans IDE.

I include library files as follows :

Dynamic-jasper-3.2.1.jar
Dynamic-jasper-3.2.1-test.jar
jasperreport-4.5.jar
commons-beanutils-1.8.2.jar 
commons-collections-3.2.1.jar 
commons-digester-1.7.jar 
commons-logging-1.1.jar 
junit-3.8.2.jar

import java.util.Date;
import net.sf.jasperreports.view.JasperDesignViewer;
import net.sf.jasperreports.view.JasperViewer;
import ar.com.fdvs.dj.domain.DynamicReport;
import ar.com.fdvs.dj.domain.builders.FastReportBuilder;
import ar.com.fdvs.dj.test.BaseDjReportTest;

public class FastReportTest extends BaseDjReportTest {
    public DynamicReport buildReport() throws Exception {

        FastReportBuilder drb = new FastReportBuilder();
        drb.addColumn("State", "state", String.class.getName(), 30)
                .addColumn("Branch", "branch", String.class.getName(), 30)
                .addColumn("Product Line", "productLine", String.class.getName(), 50)
                .addColumn("Item", "item", String.class.getName(), 50)
                .addColumn("Item Code", "id", Long.class.getName(), 30, true)
                .addColumn("Quantity", "quantity", Long.class.getName(), 60, true)
                .addColumn("Amount", "amount", Float.class.getName(), 70, true)
                .addGroups(2)
                .setTitle("November \"2006\" sales report")
                .setSubtitle("This report was generated at " + new Date())
                .setPrintBackgroundOnOddRows(true)
                .setUseFullPageWidth(true);

        DynamicReport dr = drb.build();
        return dr;
    }

    public static void main(String a[]) throws Exception {
        FastReportTest test = new FastReportTest();
        // test.
        test.testReport();
        test.exportToJRXML();
        JasperViewer.viewReport(test.jp);    //finally display the report report
        JasperDesignViewer.viewReportDesign(test.jr);
    }
}

I have Got error like this :

In case you are using the DynamicJasper 3.2.1 you should use the externals libraries from the DJ's pom.xml.

The snippet of the pom.xml file:

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>jasperreports</groupId>
        <artifactId>jasperreports</artifactId>
        <version>3.7.1</version>
        <exclusions>
            <exclusion>
                <groupId>commons-collections</groupId>
                <artifactId>commons-collections</artifactId>
            </exclusion>
            <exclusion>
                <groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
                <artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId>
            </exclusion>
            <exclusion>
                <groupId>bouncycastle</groupId>
                <artifactId>bcmail-jdk14</artifactId>
            </exclusion>
            <exclusion>
                <groupId>bouncycastle</groupId>
                <artifactId>bcprov-jdk14</artifactId>
            </exclusion>
        </exclusions>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>commons-collections</groupId>
        <artifactId>commons-collections</artifactId>
        <version>3.1</version>
        <scope>compile</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>commons-beanutils</groupId>
        <artifactId>commons-beanutils</artifactId>
        <version>1.7.0</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>opensymphony</groupId>
        <artifactId>xwork</artifactId>
        <version>1.2.1</version>
        <scope>provided</scope>
       <optional>true</optional>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>opensymphony</groupId>
        <artifactId>webwork</artifactId>
        <version>2.2.4</version>
        <scope>provided</scope>
        <optional>true</optional>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
        <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
        <version>2.3</version>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>net.sourceforge</groupId>
        <artifactId>barbecue</artifactId>
        <version>1.1</version>
        <optional>true</optional>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

As you can see this version (3.2.1) of DJ API is using jasperreports 3.7.1 and etc.
