Help jFreeChart and Netbeans

[susieferrari]

Hi all,

after a whole day searching everywhere I can't solve my problem.

I would like to use jFreeChart in NetBeans, but I get errors even following JFC instructions.

What I've done:
1) downloaded jfreechart 1.0.13.zip here JFreeChart - Browse /1. JFreeChart/1.0.13 at SourceForge.net
2) downloaded jCommon 1.0.13 here
JFreeChart - Browse /3. JCommon at SourceForge.net

Both unpacked, then following instruction manual pag.29 where it stases:

11. With the Classpath tab selected, click on the Add JAR/Folder... button and select
the jfreechart-1.0.13.jar le from the JFreeChart directory created back in step 3.

Well, there isn't any jfreechart-1.0.13.jar file in the unpacked folder.
Instead, there is a jfreechart-1.0.13.jar-demo.jar (see attached snap A00213)

I proceed using this demo version of jar file and configure both as libraries, then I try to open a project following next instruction manual chapter A 2.3 pag 29.

They suggest to try this code

public static void main(String[] args) {
// create a dataset...
DefaultPieDataset data = new DefaultPieDataset();
data.setValue("Category 1", 43.2);
data.setValue("Category 2", 27.9);
data.setValue("Category 3", 79.5);
// create a chart...
JFreeChart chart = ChartFactory.createPieChart(
"Sample Pie Chart",
data,
true, // legend?
true, // tooltips?
false // URLs?
);
// create and display a frame...
ChartFrame frame = new ChartFrame("First", chart);
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}

Select Fix import from Source menu and run the application. Of course, I only got errors (attached snap A00214).

Any help greatly appreciated!
