Hi!

As announced earlier, JFreeChart is now in Maven Central (should be available with the next sync today). To use it add the following dependency to your build:

Code: Select all

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.jfree</groupId>
  <artifactId>jfreechart</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.14</version>
</dependency>

jfreechart.jar still has version "1.0.13"!
(org.jfree.chart.resources.JFreeChartResources)

[david.gilbert]

Oops! Thanks for the report. I'll make sure to update it correctly for the next release.

Has the demo source code been updated for version 14?

Hello David,

can you advice me on one issue.
my old code i was using "jfreechart-0.9.21" and "jcommon-0.9.6" whcih contained Class Legend and StandardLegend.
My new version is "jfreechart-1.0.2" which excludes these 2 class.

Your Immediate help will be Appreciated.

Many Thanks in Advance.

The legend is added to the chart as a subtitle, and the class used is LegendTitle.

[Abhaysc]

Many Thanks David.

but still even if i comment my Legend code... i still get error witht the new jars.
which means im not using Class Legend and Class StandardLegend.
just not understanding, whats going wrong.
The code just doesnt work with addition of new Jar and no error is display on console.

just getting one error popup,,saying "Error Occured".

can you suggest some random checks i need to do.... with the addition of new jars.

Many Thanks,
Abhay.

What is generating this "popup"? Your IDE? What IDE are you using?
IF all what your IDE is telling you that an "Error Occured", I would suggest to change it.
if you have a code fragment that is making problems after switching from jfreechart 0.9.xx to 1.0.xx, I would suggest two thinks:
1. Post the error messages
2. If they are as helpful as the message stated above, post the code. Other people with other IDE might be able to identify what is going wrong.

Please can you tell me where is Dynamic Data Demo2.java file is located in jfreechart-1.0.14 unziped folder. Not able to find it.

[matinh]

The source-code for the demos is only available if you purchase the developer guide.

How can i reduce the size of jcommon-1.0.16.jar and jfreechart-1.0.13.jar(mainly jfreechart-1.0.13.jar) so that i can use this library in my embedded environment.Size is creating probs for me. Please tell how can i reduce.

[mhilpert]

It would be nice to have 2 different versions: 1 with debug informations and 1 optimized (compiler flag optimize) for every day usage.

Hey guys,

the new pom for 1.0.14 has introduced several new dependencies (itext, xml-api). Is this a bug or feature?



Regards,

Johannes

[matinh]

Hi!

See also this thread for some discussion of the topic.
Basically iText is only a dependency for the demo application. You could just declare an <exclude> for it in your pom.
I'm not sure about xml-api.

The cleanest solution will probably be to split up the build of the lib itself an the demos and declare the correct dependencies for each module. If you feel like creating a bug-report about this, feel free to do so.

hth,
