Plot Graphs in Java

Question

The Java Swing GUI that I'm developing needs to plot a 2D graph based on the x and y coordinates generated in the program.

Is there a Swing component for that?

Or is there any other open source package for the purpose?

Java 3D plot library?

For your case (2d charts) JFreeChart is OK. But sometimes JFreeChart is overkill for simple charts.
