You might look at JDBCXYDataset, which can detect a time series based on metadata. As noted in the API, "The first column will be the x-axis and remaining columns y-axis values." Click on the class name to see the corresponding source, for example.

Addendum: If you don't want to use JDBCXYDataset directly with a JDBC query, it may be a useful outline of how to extend AbstractXYDataset to create a dataset based on a corresponding JPA query.

class JpaXYDtaset extends AbstractXYDataset {
    // implement required methods using JPA query results
}
