Tom. That's not a reason to not use JFreeChart. You can create charts as 
images and embbed them on any SWT composite. Well, if you like tooltips, 
or handle mouse events, then JFreeChart won't be valid, but if you only 
want to leverage the powerful charting engine it won't be any problem.

Martin
