'Create jfreechart-1.5.3 JAR from source code
My program is trying to upgrade from an old version of JFreeChart, we are using ant to compile and have JFreeChart imported as a .jar file. I am trying to get the new jfreechart-1.5.3 source (I cannot find a jar on their website) into a working .jar file by using:
jar cf jfreechart.jar jfreechart-1.5.3/src
When trying to compile with the new .jar file. I get the error that "package org.jfree.chart" does not exist. How do I update my program with a .jar file of the newest JFreeChart version?

As illustrated here, you can clone the repository, check out the branch with the desired tag and use maven to build the release JARs. See also Migration from JFreeChart 1.0.x
$ git clone https://github.com/jfree/jfreechart.git jfreechart
$ pushd jfreechart
$ git fetch --tags
$ git tag --list
…
v1.5.3
$ git checkout v1.5.3
Note: switching to 'v1.5.3'.
…
$ mvn -P release package
…
[INFO] BUILD SUCCESS
…
$ ls -1 target/jfreechart-1.5.3*
target/jfreechart-1.5.3-javadoc.jar
target/jfreechart-1.5.3-sources.jar
target/jfreechart-1.5.3.jar
Alternatively, download the desired JARs directly from the corresponding mvnrepository, listed here.
