You can cast an Object to an XYDataset using:
XYDataset data = (XYDataset) obj;
...but you will get an exception if obj doesn't implement the XYDataset interface, so you might want to check first:
XYDataset data = null;
if (obj instanceof XYDataset) {
data = (XYDataset) obj;
}
if (data != null) {
// do something...
}
