Well, some information is available from this site (section "Patches"):
http://www.jfree.org/jfreechart/developers.html

Regarding JDK version 1.4 should suffice for now. You can check this by
using Maven and AnimalSniffer:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/jfreechart/index.php?title=Developer_Information#Building_with_Maven

Regarding Code-Style I think you should just have a look at the source
and see yourself. I don't think they are written somewhere.

If anybody has more recommendations, please reply. Ww should then write
this information down on another wiki-page. (I can do this but it could
take some time).

hth,
