JClass chart (http://www.klgroup.com/jclass/chart.shtml) is pretty much most 
professional developers' choice.  I've used it, and it works quite well.  
(Although it does have something of a learning curve, given the multitude of 
features it provides.)  And, of course, it's not free.

As far as open source, there's:

JFreeChart
http://www.jfree.org/jfreechart/index.html

and

jCharts
http://jcharts.sourceforge.net/

Haven't-used-them/can't-vouch-for-them though.  You can take a look at this 
fairly recent JavaWorld article about them though:
