John: I found JFreeChart from a post on this list and it's pretty darn good from what I can tell. Go to http://www.object-refinery.com/jfreechart/index.html. The library is free but the documentation costs $30. I bought the docs and am going through it right now.
My main task is getting graphing up and going from data in an Oracle database. I did get graphs up and going on my own using Java's Advanced Imaging library from Sun but JFreeChart has most of the hard work already done.
