Looks like the package org/jfree/util isn't in your classpath

what do you mean by it is not in my class path but i import it a jar library of jfreechart

import is a compile-time thing. You are failing to find it at runtime.

so how can i find it at run time ??? any help

  1. Look inside the jar with any zip program to confirm that it contains org/jfree/util/PublicCloneable.class
  2. Look in your classpath environment variable to confirm that it contains the directory where the jar is stored.

it does not exist in the jar folder

I just checked out the JFreeChart web site - it lists JCommon.jar as a pre-req, which includes org/jfree/util. JCommon.jar must be in your classpath.
I also noticed a couple of references where this error was caused by using an old version of jcommon (fixed by getting the latest).

could you provide me withe site or the version number because i install five versions and non of them work

Sorry, all I know is what I just found on Google - I'm sure you can do the same.

when i try new package now i get this error

hi all
i fixed the error but now i can not add ChartPanel to a panel in jframe

Thanks for the uodate, but I'm sure you understand that without the code nobody can tell you why that's not working!

here is the code

private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
 DefaultPieDataset dataSet = new DefaultPieDataset();
        dataSet.setValue("China", 19.64);
        dataSet.setValue("India", 17.3);
        dataSet.setValue("United States", 4.54);
        dataSet.setValue("Indonesia", 3.4);
        dataSet.setValue("Brazil", 2.83);
        dataSet.setValue("Pakistan", 2.48);
        dataSet.setValue("Bangladesh", 2.38);

        JFreeChart chart = ChartFactory.createPieChart3D(
                "World Population by countries", dataSet, true, true, true);
        PiePlot3D p=(PiePlot3D)chart.getPlot();
     // ChartFrame pp=new ChartFrame("GGGGGGGG",chart);
        ChartPanel f=new ChartPanel(chart,false);
     // pp.setVisible(true);
//f.setVisible(true);
//p1.add(new ChartPanel(chart));
     this.panel1.add(f);
         this.panel1.setVisible(true);
    this.panel1.setSize(100, 100);
System.out.println("finish");

// TODO add your handling code here:
    }

Depending on your layout manager you may need to pack or revalidate the container

thank you for reply i solve it
