Would it be better placed in the Cocoon project (third party if necessary)?

I don't know what licenses we can/can't use :( I think it's a shame we can't all work together. I'll take a look at the jfreechart, perhaps we could come up with a common DTD/Schema for describing charts in XML? Thats what I wanted to do with the code I contributed to Batik - start a development going, but nothing caught :( Anyway, thanks for the links, J.
