Could someone please recommend a simple (as in very easy to understand) charting library for Java?
I just want to add a simple chart into my program and figured I might save some time by learning a library.
JFreeChart is one of the best open source charting packages for java.
A litte outdated, but still working and with free documentation (JFreeChart has just the API for free, the devguide is saled) is jCharts.
A sample code for Swing is available here, if you don't need anything fancy or special it may be easier than JFreeChart because of the direct available documentation.
JFreeChart is definitely the way to go. Although the (for-sale) manual is useful if you're doing a huge amount of work using this, it's instructive in the first instance to check out this huge selection of examples (screenshots and code). That will get you 90% of what you need.

I was trying to find out a good website for aspiring technical architects. To be precise, I have worked for 10 years in Java/J2EE areas, and now would like to gain further knowledge on architecture side of application. At the same time If I could see upcoming trends in technology that could provide a roadmap for Java professionals, would be of great help.
I usually get an hour or two to spend on doing extra things that includes scanning web sites, reading some articles etc..
I would like to know from experts, what site usually can be referred that can enrich me with good knowledge by spending an hour or two regularly? Or If you can share your experience would certainly help.
I like infoq.
I like Java Posse. They have lot of relevant podcasts for technical architects http://www.javaposse.com/
java lobby on dzone is quite a nice place, but you probably have already found that out. they do publish a variety of excellent quality articles.

I'm looking for a small/toy programming language that is implemented in Java. The implementation should preferably not be much more than around a 1000 lines or so. It might e.g. be a simple imperative language, an expression parser/interpreter or something similar. The intention is to use it as an example for a paper I'm writing, and while I could mock up something myself, it would be better to be able to refer to something that already exists. Thanks!
It's not so small as to be called a "toy" but Andrew Appel's Tiger language (from the book Modern Compiler Implementation in Java was designed to teach the basics and has a reference implementation:
http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~appel/modern/java/project.html
If a Lexical Analyzer is okay for you, check JLex
not sure if my suggestion is on time. In Russian we say 'spoon is worth during lunch time only'.
But anyway, if you still interested you might consider IUMLS.
Thanks.

I'm interested in JMonkey for some fun projects, but when I search Google to find tutorials and docs, I can only find either really basic and/or incomplete stuff, like these on http://jmonkeyengine.org/, or really specific ones. Do you know some "from beginner to expert" tutorial for JMonkey?
http://jmonkeyengine.org/wiki/doku.php/jme3 has a complete series of tutorials for jME3. They just haven't been accessible via google until now..
http://jmonkeyengine.org/wiki/doku.php/jme2:jme2 has a series of tutorials for the now community-supported old jME2
Actually, the best I found is this one:
http://www.theprogrammersweblog.com/2008/12/3d-game-programming-in-java-using.html
It's incomplete (but maybe it will be completed someday), but 11 parts are already available.
The aim is to create a complete Asteroid game.

Any Java tutorial that resembles Mark Pilgrim's approach for DiveIntoPython?
What about the official Java Tutorial? I found it pretty helpful to get started with the language.
I haven't read Dive Into Python but I do know that Bruce Eckels Thinking In Java is an excellent book and well worth a look.
Be warned though - it's monster size and not easy to carry around!
I don't think there is anything like Dive into Python in the Java world. The Java language doesn't lend itself to the model of 'Check out what we can do with these 15 lines of code!'
Best approach would be to dive in yourself, pick a project, and use the tutorial and the docs. Many people will recommend Eckel's Thinking in Java but know that it is the polar opposite of Dive into Python -- it is slow, methodical, and thorough.

What is the best Java spell checking API?
Free or purchased, must be royalty-free.
Just used Jazzy and it worked well. Try this example and download the dictionary.
Here's the Maven dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>net.sf.jazzy</groupId>
<artifactId>jazzy</artifactId>
<version>0.5.2-rtext-1.4.1-2</version>
</dependency>
Sentry Spell Checker seems interesting. It supports dialog-based spell checking and as-you-type highlighting of misspelled words. It's a commercial product ($399 for the engine), but there are no royalty fees.
Jazzy is a simpler, open source alternative. It's been around for awhile, but doesn't seem to be under active development anymore. On the bright side, it is free (LGPL license).
I would look at Jazzy first to see if it fits your needs. There's a demo applet here where you can try it out.
There are a couple other I have heard of, but I don't know if they are any good.
Rapidspell and JTextCheck
