I use WinXP.

Hi,

I know a way to do that, I am not sure it's the best one but it works well for me.

In the propreties of your project select Bulid Path then Libraries.
You must Add External JARs and then add the JAR files of the librairy JFreeChart, which are jcommon and jfreechart.

I can't help you about Ant because I have never used it succesfully.

You only need Ant if you want to rebuild the JFreeChart jar file. If you are happy to use the precompiled jar files in the JFreeChart distribution, then you just need to add them to your classpath (that is, the JFreeChart and JCommon jar files). See the previous comment by "zinZ".

Is there any simple way how to use JFREE as a component of my own form with buttons, edit boxes etc. ??

use the ChartPanel supplied as part of JFreeChart distribution as a component of your own windows.
