Yep. We tried to make it as simple as possible, which has meant binding it to
JFreeChart.

Yes, this opinion of yours is very clear.

No. It is just that we don't want to lose our momentum. Moreover, we'd like to add XY
graphs to make it truly a charting solution.

ChartTransformer is already APL, only JFreeChart is not. Moreover, as Steven
suggested, the codebase my be offically donated to
Apache.

I don't agree that it should neessarly be render-agnostic, since there is NO
open-standard for charting.
Conversely I agree on changing its name: JFreeChartTransformer would give the people
developing JFreeChart their due :)
