Plot Graphs in Java

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?

Here is a related answer of me: I have summary of existing tools and show a alternative option to create interactive charts with Gnuplot in a JPanel

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