JFreeChart discontinued?

[beckz]

Hello,

I would like to use JFreeChart in my software-project.

But before I start using it, I would like to know if the project is discontinued (last release: 2009-04-20)?

Thank you.

Beckz,

How much time, waiting with your question unanswered, will make you think that the project is discontinued

I just wanted to know if it is discontinued!

Maybe someone could give me a short and also friendly answer!

Thanks a lot.

G-Man possibly have found another thing to do which he could actually earn money for living. I'm also waiting for the 3d graphs but it's still under construction since like 2008..

Noone can blame him, its open-source. The project is definitely not discontinued with so many contributers and users.

I would classify it as "dormant".
Even if this project will not be continued )or at least not on the short term), it is pretty mature in its present form. The main architecture is interface-based , with a couple of default/abstract implementations, and it is quite easy to plug in your own data management or rendering logic (as I have done).
Unless you have some unusual requirements, I am quite sure that JFreeChart will do a good job!

Is there no fork yet?

There are people answering questions and there are developers finding bugs and submitting patches via its Sourceforge project page! There are other successfull projects (like JBoss Seam or PrimeFaces) that use JFreeChart, so I don't think it will be discontinued in the near future. However, what the project currently is really missing is someone who applies bug-fixes to SVN and does a release from time to time.
