All you have to do is to put jcommon-1.0.0.jar and jfreechart-1.0.1.jar files in your classpath.

Have a look at a the demo:
java -jar jfreechart-1.0.1-demo.jar

i already put that two jar file in the classpath but it not work. i found the error when compile my java file. i can run the demo successfully

what is the problem is???

[Christophe Verré]

The problem is your file then
What are you doing ?

[albert sie]

after i extract the jfreechart, then i recompile it using ant. i set the classpath to the jfreechart-1.0.1.jar and jcommon1.0.0.jar.
but when i compile my java, it come out the error message

First.java:1: package org.jfree.data does not exist
import org.jfree.data.DefaultPieDataset;
^
First.java:2: package org.jfree.chart does not exist
import org.jfree.chart.ChartFactory;
^
First.java:3: package org.jfree.chart does not exist
import org.jfree.chart.JFreeChart;
^
First.java:4: package org.jfree.chart does not exist
import org.jfree.chart.ChartFrame;
^


what the problem is?

is it i need to download the additional thing to make the API can run?

[albert sie]

i solve my problem already than k for the help.
actually my problem is i set my classpath using the environment variable. but this method not use for me. then i try the second method where is send classpath by using the SET CLASSPATH command in the command prompt. this is the method which make the installation complete and i successfully compile my file and run it.so i post this for anyone that face the same problem can that this as the reference. thank you.

Can anyone tell me the way to recognise the JFREECHART to my java compiler step by step.I tried the way of setting class path.It did not work.So can someone tell a clear idea..

[Ulf Dittmer]

How are you adding the jar files to the classpath? The easiest way is to use the "-classpath" switch, like

javac -classpath jfreechart-1.0.13.jar;jcommon-1.0.10.jar MyClass.java

(use a colon instead of a semicolon on Unix systems)

[Potter James]

Ok.Now just tell me where to put the folder JFREECHART in the java installation directory.I have put that in bin.Also tried to zip it in "src".It is working if i put the jfree folder and my program in bin.But my aim is to run the coding in a JSP page.It is not recognizing the jfree package in "import" command.

[Ulf Dittmer]

It doesn't matter where the JFreeChart directory resides, but inside of the JDK installation seems a bad place, particularly the bin directory.

For web applications the jar files need to be inside of the WEB-INF/lib directory, since web apps don't use the standard classpath.

[Potter James]

I have executed the code finally..Thanks a lot for your tips

hii,im a fairly new programmer in java.I need to implement a polar graph that requires Jfreechart.but i'm having problems in the compiler recognising the jfree package.

i use command prompt and when i tried running the demo file
using java -jar jfreechart-1.0.13.jar

it throws the following errors

You need to add the JCommon and JFreeChart Demo jar files to your classpath.

and if tried compiling my application using -classpath method...it throws an invalid flag error

If the classpath contains spaces then you need to quote it:

javac -classpath "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\jfreechart-1.0.13\lib\jfreechart-1.0.13.jar;C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\jfreechart-1.0.13\lib\jcommon-1.0.16.jar" polarpanel.java
