Given that this source package only generates a single library package
which doesn't appear that it's used as a stand-alone app (I may be
incorrect on that, but I didn't see anything about it on the jCharts
site), there needn't be a runtime JRE dependency at all.

Any objections to removing the JRE from Depends completely?
