jfreechart is a great way to make a simple problem really hard. The
lack of documentation is made crippliing by it's byzantine API,
rubbish javadocs, and bugs. You can find a bunch of examples on the
internet if you look hard (I don't have a link to hand) that pre-date
the policy of "pay for usable documentation and example code".

I'll chuck in gnuplot (which makes the simple stuff easy, and the hard
stuff potentially in reach of a dedicated team of professionals).
