Support for JfreeChart Eastwood

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I want to use the google chart api compatible implementation from
jfreechart called eastwood. See http://www.jfree.org/eastwood/ 
Therefore it is needed to be able to set the url in the ParameterManager.
But the String url is final and there is no getter/setter for that nor is
the ParameterManager accessible.

I made a smallish hack to enable this but im not able to build the
charts4j-gwt.jar as your modifikations are not in trunk currently.

So please review my modifications.

Thanks for this work as it works even in a gwt project of mine perfect.

Greetings

Stefan

I was aware of Eastwood, but I did not know it supported the same URL parameter
structure as the GCA. Hmmm... very interesting. OK, so what is needed is to 
support
URL endpoint configurability. This should be doable. If this actually works it 
could
theoretically supply a unified API to both JFreeChart Eastwood and GCA. Wow. It 
is
definitely worth a try.

Last time I checked Eastwood - almost a year ago - it was somehow incomplete. 
Meaning
it didn't support all chart types nor was it able to decode and render all URLs 
of
the chart types it supported.

Ask, and Ye Shall Receive.

Added the desired configurability on the trunk. Still needs to be ported to gwt
client-side. That will be coming soon.

Dieter: Worth a try anyway. It all depends on what happens to Eastwood when it 
sees a
parameter it does not know. Does it barf? Will it ignore it and recover 
somehow? We
shall see.

Sure. I didn't try to discourage including Eastwood. Maybe they fixed a lot of 
stuff
in the meantime so everything will run smoothly.
