Cedric,
Just out of curiosity, what is the situation in which you would prefer
series with the exact same name? Doesn't every trend line have some sort
of unique specification? Or am I misunderstanding things?
Thanks,
Philip

Hi, Cedric,
I think it is reasonable to disallow identical series name in chart
because you will not be able to tell which line is for which series if
two of them are identical. For instance, the project member active time
series must have developer's ID or email attached to distinguish category
series on active time.
I remember the restriction is on hackyCore_Report. If you really want
same series name and there is good justification you can go ahead to
change the internal implementation of CategoryDataModel. I think there
will not have other ripple effects once all unit tests pass.
Thanks,
Hongbing

Hi, Philip and Hongbing,
I am cleaning Core_Telemetry code and there is some workaround I
really want to get rid of.
Current CategoryDataModel blows up when you add more than one
CategorySeries with the same name. I have to use pretty arbitrary
workaround by adding stars to category name in case of duplication.
I am not sure whether this is a restriction in JFreeChart or
Core_Report. My understanding is this is caused by CategoryDataModel's
internal use of Map and keys CategorySeries by name. If I am right,
then it won't be hard to remove this restriction.
Thanks,
Cedric
